Proton Beam Therapy in the Treatment of Periorbital Malignancies

Proton Beam Therapy in the Treatment of Periorbital Malignancies

Purpose: Periorbital tumor location presents a significant challenge with 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy due to high tumor dose needed in the setting of close proximity to orbital structures with lower tolerance. Proton beam therapy (PBT) is felt t...
