“…4 Despite its high associated costs, PT also appears to be cost effective, as fewer side effects mean savings in overall cost. 5 PT in children often requires deep sedation or general anesthesia. This is due to a number of factors: the duration of PT sessions (which may last up to 90 min), their repetition (up to thirty times), the need for immobility, and the use of cribs and tight-fitting thermoplastic masks that can induce claustrophobia.…”

“…In contrast with photons, protons have the advantage to stop at a given depth (where the tumor is located), with reduced straggling and resulting in a significant reduction of integral dose to surrounding tissues. Proton therapy (PT) is considered as an alternative to conventional RT, especially in pediatric patients [8]. Nowadays, protons are frequently used instead of photons due to their ballistic properties which allow to treat tumors localized near organs at risk (OAR) without leading to toxicities in these OAR [9].…”
