Description

The standard of care of childhood parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma (pRMS) is chemotherapy and local radiation therapy. Protons are increasingly being used to decrease late effects. The aim of the present study is to analyze the pattern of relapse and the correlation with dosimetric factors in pRMS treated with proton therapy.
