Proton Therapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Hodgkin Lymphoma
Interventions
Radiation: Conventional Photon Radiation Plan
Radiation: Intensity Modulated Radiation Plan
Radiation: Proton Radiation Plan
Registration Number
NCT00850200
Lead Sponsor
University of Florida
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to reduce the risk of radiation related side effects and complications by treating with radiation (protons or photons) that exposes less of normal organs to low dose radiation.

Detailed Description

3 treatment plans will be created to deliver between a total of 21-39.6 Gray (Gy)/Centigray Equivalents (CGE) to the planning target volume (PTV).

1. Proton Plan

2. Conventional Plan

3. Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) Plan

The patient will then receive the radiation modality with the lowest percentage of the body receiving 4 Gy (V4Gy/CGE)
