Proton Beam Therapy for Cancer
When cancer affects sensitive areas like the prostate gland, brain, spine and lungs, precise treatment is essential. Proton beam therapy is an advanced form of radiation therapy that's accurate, non-invasive and virtually painless. Proton therapy is particularly effective at treating child cancers, prostate cancer and cancerous tumors in sensitive areas of the body.
Proton therapy for cancer can improve patients' quality of life by:
- Targeting and destroying cancer cells
- Minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue
- Causing fewer side effects than traditional therapies
- Disrupting the DNA of cancer cells
