University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute

The University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute is a specialized medical facility that uses proton therapy, a cutting-edge cancer treatment. Unlike traditional X-ray radiation, proton therapy delivers precise doses of radiation to tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This targeted approach is especially beneficial for treating specific types of cancer in sensitive areas, such as the brain and spine, and in pediatric patients. The Institute combines advanced technology with expert care to improve treatment outcomes and enhance patients' quality of life during cancer therapy.
