What Types of Cancer Can Be Treated with Proton Therapy?
Proton therapy is particularly beneficial for treating certain types of cancer, including:
Pediatric cancers – due to their sensitivity to radiation. Head and neck cancers – given their proximity to critical structures like the brain and spinal cord. Prostate cancer – because of its location near the bladder and rectum. Lung cancer – to minimize damage to the lungs and heart. Brain tumors – to avoid cognitive deficits associated with radiation exposure.
