Spot-scanning proton therapy for targets with adjacent cardiac implantable electronic devices – Strategies for breast and head & neck cancer

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) malfunctions can be induced by secondary neutron dose from spot-scanning proton therapy. A recent in-vitro study investigating secondary neutron dose to CIEDs up to 7 mSv per fraction found that exposure of secondary neutrons in th...
