Predicted percentage of primordial follicles killed as a result of CRT, IMRT, and PRT for the 5 sets of ovaries used in the sensitivity test. Also listed are values of the ratio of relative risk of premature ovarian failure (RRRPOF).

The percentages of primordial follicles killed were calculated by using the sum of the therapeutic dose (predicted by the TPS) and the stray radiation dose

Abbreviations: CRT = conventional photon radiotherapy; IMRT = intensity-modulated photon radiotherapy; PRT = proton radiotherapy; TPS = treatment planning system.
