Intensity-modulated proton therapy minimizes the incidental irradiation of normal tissues in patients with head and neck cancer relative to intensity-modulated photon (x-ray) therapy and has been associated with lesser treatment-related toxicity and improved quality of life. A phase II/III randomized trial sponsored by the US National Cancer Institute is currently underway to compare deintensification treatment strategies with intensity-modulated proton therapy vs intensity-modulated photon (x-r ...[more]
