Dosimetric comparison of distal esophageal carcinoma plans for patients treated with small‐spot intensity‐modulated proton versus volumetric‐modulated arc therapies

BACKGROUND: Esophageal carcinoma is the eighth most common cancer in the world. Volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is widely used to treat distal esophageal carcinoma due to high conformality to the target and good sparing of organs at risk (OAR). It is not clear if small‐spot intensity‐modulat...
