We appreciate the insightful commentary by Drs. Choi and Simone regarding the phase II study of concurrent chemotherapy and dose-escalated proton beam therapy (PBT) for locally advanced non-resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (1). We wish to add several discussion points that are in concord with the aforementioned piece.
