Ion Beam Therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses charged particles, such as protons or heavier ions, to target tumors. Unlike traditional X-ray radiation, which can affect surrounding healthy tissue, ion beams deliver precise doses of radiation directly to the cancer cells, minimizing damage to nearby organs. This therapy is particularly effective for certain types of tumors, including those in the brain, spine, and pediatric cancers. Ion Beam Therapy is often used when other treatments, like surgery or conventional radiation, are less effective or carry higher risks of side effects.
