Conclusions : “excellent outcomes in patients treated with Proton Therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma from 2010-2015, with 82% of patients alive and 97% free of primary site recurrence. No patient has experienced long-term renal or liver toxicity. This treatment maximizes normal tissue preservation and is appropriate for this patient population.”
