Relapse includes relapse and death; the correlation was calculated using a binary logistic regression test. Complications induced by surgery or radiotherapy were graded from 0 to 5 using the CTCAE v4 and the highest was noted for each patient, the correlation was calculated using an ordinal logistic regression test. Relapse risk was calculated using a binary logistic regression test. ICA Internal carotid artery, OAT Organs at risk near the Clinical Target Volume in proton therapy.
