Figure 5.
Predicted RRR of second cancer in the bladder and rectum following prostate radiotherapy for VMAT and proton arc therapy for the small, medium, and large patients for the linear-non-threshold (LNT), linear-exponential-10 (Lexp 10), linear-exponential-40 (Lexp 40), linear-plateau-10 (Lplat 10), and linear-plateau-40 (Lplat 40) risk models. The mean RRR is listed above each group, where a and b represent a statistically significant advantage for proton arc therapy (p-value < 0.05) with respect to risk calculated with the Student's t-test and exact sign test, respectively.
