P05.57 Health-related quality of life in patients with large skull base benign meningiomas treated with proton therapy

摘要

BackgroundThanks to their distinct physical properties proton therapy (PT) offers a superior dose distribution than photon radiation therapy. For benign skull base tumors such dose sparing can be harnessed to minimize the risk of side effects ultimately reducing the possible detrimental effect on quality of life (QoL). Aim of this report is to describe QoL in patients (pts) with large skull base benign meningiomas treated with PT.
