Proton Therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses protons, which are positively charged particles, to target tumors. Unlike traditional X-ray radiation therapy, which can affect surrounding healthy tissue, proton therapy delivers precise doses of radiation directly to the tumor, minimizing damage to nearby organs. This treatment is particularly effective for certain types of cancer, such as pediatric cancers and tumors located near critical structures. Proton therapy is often used for patients who may benefit from reduced side effects, allowing for a more focused approach to cancer treatment while preserving quality of life.
