Article Synopsis
- Proton therapy is advancing as a treatment for lung cancer, but there are concerns about the potential for secondary radiation effects on non-target organs.
- This study utilized a Monte Carlo model to assess the radiation dose to out-of-field organs and estimated the risk of secondary cancers using established risk models.
- Results showed that organs near the tumor, particularly the liver and esophagus, received significant doses, and the risk of secondary cancers increased with tumor depth, highlighting the need for careful management during treatment.
