The utilization rate for PBRT was extremely low compared with that of conventional RT The number of pediatric patients accounted for only 9.7% of the overall treatments, as opposed to the number of adults with prostate cancer, which represented 55.4% of the overall treatments IMRT had a 10-fold increase for all patients, and a 18-fold increase for prostate cancer In the current enviroment the use of PBRT has likely had little impact on national expenditures on cancer care, but as the number of facilities continues to rise, utilization rates are to change in a population of more than 100 million patients..
