Yes. My guess is that there were just too few proton therapy folks in this group, between 2008 - 2018, to break them out separately.

It would be interesting to see a control study regarding negative side effects data of photon versus proton therapy.

Of course, both of these types of radiation treatments are now “fractionating” into quite a few variations.
