Modelling studies

:

suggest a

significant reduction in the risk of SMN

.

For a

paediatric patient with an

orbital RMS by a factor

of 2

[Miralbell 2002, Paganetti 2012, Taddei 2015]

.

and

for a MB case undergoing

CSI by a factor of 8-15

when

compared with IMRT or XRT

[Miralbell 2001].

Notably, protons provided

more risk reduction for larger

than smaller RT

volumes

.
