Comparison of stereotactic photon and proton treatment plans for metastasis-directed radiotherapy
Proton therapy may reduce long-term treatment-related toxicities and be more effective for re-irradiation. It achieves a satisfactory BED<sub>3</sub> of > 100 Gy in more patients as photon therapy with a statistically significant advantage in voxel wise minimum GTV D<sub>99%</sub>.
