ABSTRACT

Source abstract

The unique biophysical properties of proton therapy (PT), regarding the precise dose distribution, a remarkable better sparing of surrounding normal tissues, and the decreasing costs have promoted the spread of this technique worldwide. In Spain, eleven new PT centers, added to the currently two in function, are expected to be available in the near future. Indications for PT are currently evolving. The suitability of PT in central nervous system tumors of the adult population has been extrapolated from the favorable experience in children and adolescents. Given the lack of appropriate randomized trials, controversies remain regarding its use in lower grade tumors, re-irradiation, and other clinical scenarios in which an a priori dose distribution benefit is expected compared to photon-based radiotherapy. PT is a reasonable option in many brain and spinal tumors associating long life expectancy, in which cognitive decline, and the appearance of radiation-induced neoplasms can be minimized.Estado actual de la terapia con protones en los tumores del sistema nervioso central en España: bases físicas, indicaciones, controversias y perspectivas.
