Proton Beam

Proton beam therapy is a type of advanced cancer treatment that uses focused, high-energy protons—particles found in atoms—to target tumors precisely. Unlike traditional radiation, proton therapy delivers radiation directly to the cancer, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The proton beam is carefully directed and controlled to match the tumor's shape and location, often enabling higher doses of radiation while reducing side effects. It’s particularly effective for tumors near critical structures and in children. Overall, proton beam therapy offers a precise, effective option for treating certain types of cancer with fewer risks to healthy cells.
