2021, Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Criticisms of this study include the small sample size and imbalance of major clinical factors (unresectable vs recurrent) between trial arms. The two-year survival rate was 62% for neutrons and 25% for photons without a statistically significant difference at 10 years.27 Given concerns over greater long-term toxicity as well as for practical reasons (there is currently only a single neutron site in the United States), neutrons have largely fallen out of favor.
