The median total dose was 60 Gy (relative biological effectiveness [RBE]) at 3 Gy per fraction for carbon ions and 70 Gy (RBE) at 2 Gy per fraction for protons. The median boost planning target volume was 38 cm3 (range, 8-133 cm3 ). Overall survival (OS) and local control (LC) were evaluated with the Kaplan-Meier method.The median follow-up period was 40 months (range, 0.8-78.1 months). At the start of the irradiation, all patients had residual macroscopic tumors.
