First Randomized Study Comparing Proton and Photon Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer Finds Both Preserve Quality of Life
The first randomized trial to compare photon- and proton-based radiation therapy for breast cancer finds that patients report equally strong health-related quality of life with either treatment. Patients who received proton therapy were more likely to say they would recommend or choose it again, but overall patient-reported outcomes were similar. First results of the phase III Radiotherapy Comparative Effectiveness (RadComp) trial will be presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting.
