TL;DR: Reduced safety margins, large ciliary body tumors, eyelids within the treatment field, inadequate positioning of tantalum clips, and male gender were identified to be the main factors impairing local tumor control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton Therapy in Clinical Practice: Current Clinical Evidence
TL;DR: The investment in clinical facilities offering proton therapy should not simply follow enthusiasm and belief in the new technology but should be firmly based on objective outcome data demonstrating the real additional value of protons over photons using the criteria of evidence-based medicine.
