Methods and materials: We analyzed 116 brain tumor adult patients undergoing scanning beam PT (median dose 54 GyRBE; range 36-72) for CTCAE v.4 grade 2 (G2) acute (<= 90 days), late (>90 days) and permanent (>12 months) RIA.

Purpose: To develop normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models for radiation-induced alopecia (RIA) in brain tumor patients treated with proton therapy (PT).
