Proton therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy proton beams to target and destroy cancer cells. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, which uses photon beams, proton therapy delivers its energy in a more precise manner, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This precision allows for higher doses of radiation to be delivered to the tumor, increasing the chances of successfully treating the cancer while reducing side effects. Proton therapy is especially beneficial for treating tumors located near critical organs or tissues, as well as in pediatric patients, due to its ability to spare healthy tissue from radiation exposure. The use of proton therapy is still relatively limited compared to traditional radiation therapy, but it is becoming increasingly popular as technology advances and more treatment centers offer this cutting-edge therapy.
