PROton beam Therapy (PBT) vs Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in Sinonasal cancer (PROTIS)
Trial Summary:
PROTIS is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing proton beam therapy (PBT) to photon radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with non-metastatic sinonasal cancer. The primary objective is to determine which modality improves disease-free survival. 276 patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, meeting specific staging criteria, will be recruited from multiple sites across the UK.
