Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to reduce the risk of radiation related side effects and complications by treating with radiation (protons or photons) that exposes less of normal organs to low dose radiation.

Detailed description

3 treatment plans will be created to deliver between a total of 21-39.6 Gray (Gy)/Centigray Equivalents (CGE) to the planning target volume (PTV). 1. Proton Plan 2. Conventional Plan 3. Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) Plan The patient will then receive the radiation modality with the lowest percentage of the body receiving 4 Gy (V4Gy/CGE)

ArmCount
Proton Therapy Plan Compared to IMRT and Conventional RT
Each patient has a proton, IMRT and conventional plan done prior to treatment for dosimetric comparison of the primary endpoint which is the percent of the body that receives 4 Gray (%V4). The plan that delivers the smallest %V4 will be the plan that is pursued for actual treatment. Therefore, each patient will have three treatment plans, but will only be treated with one of these three plans (the superior one).
