Estimation of the risk for radiation-induced liver disease following photon- or proton-beam radiosurgery of liver metastases

Abstract Background Radiotherapy of liver metastases is commonly being performed with photon-beam based stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The high risk for radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) is a limiting factor in these treatments. The use of proton-beam based SBRT could potentially i...
