Single Center Results following Proton Beam Therapy in Children with Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumors of the Central Nervous System

Abstract: Purpose: Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is a rare, embryonal, central nervous system tumor seen predominantly in infancy and childhood. Outcomes are generally dismal, with median survival estimated at 6 months to a year. The purpose of this study was to evaluate proton beam therapy (PBT) outcomes in this population. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients with a diagnosis of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor were treated from November 2007 to January 2013 at the Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center… Show more
