Risk factors for radiation-induced rib fractures following proton beam therapy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective study

Risk factors for radiation-induced rib fractures following proton beam therapy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective study

Abstract Background Understanding and managing radiation-induced adverse events is becoming increasingly important in hypofractionated radiotherapy due to the use of higher doses per fraction compared with conventional radiotherapy. Specifically, toxicities of hypofractionated proton and carbon-ion...
