5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this research project is to test the local response and the acute toxicity (which can be observed within 90 days).
Detailed Description
Local response and acute toxicity are primary endpoints of the trial. At CNAO a proton boost is delivered on the PTV1rx (area at high risk of relapse) up to at least 70 Gy [RBE] in 2-3 Gy [RBE] per fractions for 8-15 total fractions. PTV2 rx (area at low or intermediate risk of relapse) will be irradiated with photon IMRT up to a total dose of 50-60 Gy [RBE]. Secondary endpoints of the trial are local control, relapse free survival, overall survival, tumor specific survival, intermediate and long term toxicity.
