Table 2.

Hazard ratios (HR), life years lost (LYL) estimates, and their pairwise differences for 22 patients with early-stage mediastinal Hodgkin lymphoma in free breathing (FB) or deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) delivered with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or proton therapy. The Friedman test and post-hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction were used for pairwise comparisons. P-values <0.05 and <0.01 are marked with * and **, respectively. Doses are in Gy (RBE) for proton therapy. Breast cancer HR given for 14 female patients. A plot of total LYL can be found in the supplementary material (Fig. S8).
