Patterns of Local-Regional Failure after Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy or Passive Scattering Proton Therapy with Concurrent Chemotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

We compared differences in patterns of local-regional failure, and the influence of adaptive planning on those patterns, for 212 patients given passively scattered proton therapy (PSPT) or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), both with concurrent chemotheapy, for non-small cell lung cancer. No differences in patterns of local, marginal, or regional failure were found between treatment groups, and use of adaptive planning (or not) did not influence failure patterns.
