Proton therapy versus photon radiation therapy for the management of a recurrent desmoid tumor of the right flank: a case report

Radiation Oncology, 2012
Desmoid tumors are benign mesenchymal tumors with a strong tendency for local recurrence after surgery. Radiotherapy improves local control following incomplete resection, but nearby organs at risk may limit the dose to the target volume.
