Accurate patient-individual prediction of proton therapy benefit in thoracic cancers using 3D dose maps and radiomics KU Leuven
State-of-the-art curative radiotherapy for thoracic cancers comes with a considerable risk of radiation-induced toxicity, mostly related to incidental radiation dose to the lungs and the heart. Proton therapy (PT) is an innovative treatment modality that exploits the physical properties of protons to more accurately deposit dose. Promising PT results have been published, showing low extraneous dose and limited toxicity. The high cost of PT ...
