| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I collect and analyze the result of proton beam therapy for pediatric tumor. The association between late toxicity and proton beam therapy was verified. This analysis made clear that proton beam therapy for pediatric tumor could reduce the dose of normal brain compared to photon radiotherapy such as 3D-CRT and Intensity-modulated radiation therapy. As for body trunk tumor, I compared proton beam therapy to 3D-CRT and Intensity-modulated radiation therapy.
