What are the Advantages of Adaptive Proton Therapy?
There are several advantages to using adaptive proton therapy:
Precision: By continuously adapting to changes, the therapy ensures that the maximum dose of protons is delivered to the tumor with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. Reduced Side Effects: The precision of adaptive proton therapy reduces the risk of side effects and complications compared to traditional radiation therapy. Effectiveness: It improves the overall effectiveness of the treatment by maintaining optimal targeting throughout the duration of therapy. Patient Quality of Life: By minimizing damage to healthy tissues, patients experience fewer side effects, leading to a better quality of life during and after treatment.
