Proton therapy
Proton therapy is a type of particle therapy which uses a beam of protons to irradiate diseased tissue, most often in the treatment of cancer. The chief advantage of proton therapy is the ability to more precisely localize the radiation dosage when compared with other types of external beam radiotherapy. The development of proton therapy began in the 1950s at accelerator laboratories, and in the last 20 years has expanded to hospital based facilities built specifically to perform this type of treatment.
