Risk of second primary cancer from proton arc therapy of pediatric brain tumors

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2023
Proton arc therapy (PAT) is currently explored for clinical implementation, despite its associated low-dose bath. This study therefore aimed at evaluating the risk of radiation-induced second primary cancer (SPC) for PAT in pediatric brain tumor patients.
