Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Seven patients with hypopharyngeal cancer who treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in our institution were selected and intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plan were created for each patient using same dose constraint, targets and prescribe dose of original IMRT plan. mean dose to both parotid gland and mean dose to the oral cavity were compared between two plans. IMPT achieved same dose coverage to the targets compared to IMRT and significantly reduced the mean dose to the dose reducing side of the parotid gland and the mean dose to the oral cavity. IMPT may lead to the clinical benefit in regard to reducing toxicities without affecting treatment outcume.
