Abstract
Background: Proton radiotherapy produces superior dose distributions compared to photon radiotherapy, reducing side effects. Differences between the two modalities are not fully quantified in paediatric patients for various intracranial tumour sites or age. Understanding these differences may help clinicians estimate the benefit and improve referral across available centres. Our aim was to compare intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and...
