Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheaths tumors (MPNST) are rare, highly aggressive and radioresistant tumors of soft tissue. Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) seems to be an attractive treatment option when surgery is not possible or refused by the patient. The aim of this study was to report our preliminary results (outcomes and toxicity) of CIRT in the treatment of MPNSTs.
