Proton Therapy Has Better Outcome over IMRT for Advanced Head and Neck Cancers
Radiation oncologists compared the world’s literature on outcomes of proton beam therapy in the treatment of a range of advanced head and neck cancers of the skull base compared to intensity-modulated radiation therapy and found that proton beam therapy significantly improved disease-free survival and tumor control when compared to IMRT.
