Variability in Proton Craniospinal Irradiation Practices in the United States: A Pediatric Proton Consortium Registry (PPCR) Study
A study published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics on Nov. 1, 2021, follows a scientific team’s efforts to characterize proton craniospinal irradiation (CSI) practice patterns by carefully examining CSI plans included in the Pediatric Proton/Photon Consortium Registry (PPCR).
A study published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics on Nov. 1, 2021, follows a scientific team’s efforts to characterize proton craniospinal irradiation (CSI) practice patterns by carefully examining CSI plans included in the Pediatric Proton/Photon Consortium Registry (PPCR). The study findings indicate significant variability in current proton CSI practices, and the research team recommends the development of clear guidelines to optimize and standardize target delineation and planning of CSI is recommended as evidence evolves.
