- * The study analyzes the use of the Papillon device, which delivers low energy X-rays for radiotherapy, allowing dose escalation without harming surrounding tissues.
- * Results from treating 24 patients showed a 96% organ preservation rate and an 8% local relapse rate after a median follow-up of 43 months, with no severe toxicities, indicating Papillon as a promising alternative to surgery.
