Proton radiotherapy dose perturbations caused by esophageal stents of varying material composition are negligible in an experimental model

Proton radiotherapy dose perturbations caused by esophageal stents of varying material composition are negligible in an experimental model

Background: Self-expanding metal and plastic esophageal stents (SEMS and SEPS, respectively) are used in conjunction with chemoradiation for palliation of malignant dysphagia. To date, the dosimetric effects of stents undergoing proton radiotherapy are not known. Study aim: To investigate...
