Significance of Early Proton Beam Therapy Initiation in Achieving Complete Response in Pediatric Medulloblastoma: A Retrospective Study

This study highlights that the timely initiation of PBT following surgery, particularly within 31 days, is associated with improved CR in pediatric medulloblastoma. Our findings suggest that a shorter interval between surgery and PBT initiation may be an important factor influencing early treatment response, providing preliminary evidence to support earlier postoperative PBT delivery.
