What is Proton Therapy?

Proton beam therapy is the most precise, painless and advanced form or radiation therapy available today. The physical characteristic of a proton particle allows physicians and therapists to form the radiation beam to the shape and size of the tumor site with sub-millimeter accuracy. This minimizes the exposure of healthy surrounding cells to harmful radiation while decreasing the side effects normally associated with conventional X-ray therapy. Proton therapy allows the treatment of tumors in areas that were once considered too sensitive to treat with traditional radiation therapy.
