Cardiac-Sparing and Breast-Sparing Whole Lung Irradiation Using Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy

Cardiac-Sparing and Breast-Sparing Whole Lung Irradiation Using Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy

Purpose: Whole lung irradiation (WLI) is indicated for certain pediatric patients with lung metastases. This study investigated whether WLI delivered as intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) could significantly spare the heart and breasts when compared with conventional WLI delivered with antero...
