Advances in Proton Therapy for the Management of Head and Neck Tumors.
A review article summarized the advances of PBRT as compared to photon-based RT. Clinical evidence has demonstrated promising results of PBRT in the treatment of cancers of the nasopharynx, sinonasal region, and oropharynx as well as in the postoperative and reirradiation settings. Retrospective data suggests that PBRT may be beneficial in decreasing treatment related toxicity and improving patient-reported outcomes, as well as improving disease outcomes.
