====== Proton beam radiotherapy ======

[[Proton]] therapy, also known as [[proton beam radiotherapy]], is a form of [[radiation]] [[treatment]] used to destroy tumor cells.

Fractionated proton radiation therapy (FPRT) for [[vestibular schwannoma]] (VS) did not meet the goal of serviceable [[hearing preservation]]. Higher [[cochlea]] doses trended to worsening [[hearing preservation]], suggesting that dose to cochlea correlates with hearing preservation independent of treatment modality
