Proton Therapy Research

Proton therapy research explores advanced cancer treatment using protons—charged particles that precisely target tumors. Unlike traditional radiation, proton therapy can deliver high doses directly to cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Researchers are studying ways to improve its accuracy, reduce side effects, and expand its use for different cancers. Ongoing studies also examine combining proton therapy with other treatments and developing new technologies to make this precise form of radiation even more effective and accessible for patients.
