| Popis: |
Currently, there is no cure for pediatric diffuse brain stem (BS) tumors. Radiotherapy, including proton therapy, is an important component of combination treatment for this cancer, especially in children with a complicated medical history. The article addresses the issues of therapy for pediatric BS tumors and reports the use of proton re-irradiation in a 9-year-old boy with unverified diffuse BS tumor. Proton re-irradiation is an effective treatment option that can sustain and improve the quality of life and prolong survival in children with diffuse BS tumors. |
