About this study

Dosimetric studies suggest that radiotherapy with protons has a potential to reduce side effects compared to treatment with photons for patients with anal carcinoma (AC). There are so far no studies comparing these treatment techniques in a randomised setting. The aim of this study is to compare side effects following photon therapy versus proton therapy within the framework of a randomised controlled trial.
