Radiation Necrosis in Pediatric Patients with Brain Tumors Treated with Proton Radiotherapy
AJNR 36:1572-1578, Kralik, S.F.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Pediatric patients with brain tumors treated with proton radiation therapy demonstrate a high incidence of radiation necrosis and a short time to development of necrosis. Multiple small areas of necrosis are frequently identified on imaging. Exposure to multiple chemotherapy agents was a significant risk factor associated with radiation necrosis in these patients.
