Advanced

Proton therapy is one of the world’s most advanced cancer treatments. The unique physical characteristics of protons offer physicians considerably more control when delivering radiation. This allows them to spare healthy tissue from excess radiation.

Precise

The power of proton therapy is its ability to target cancer cells with pinpoint precision. This allows physicians to avoid unnecessary radiation to healthy cells and improve the patient’s quality of life during and after treatment.

Effective

Proton therapy can be an effective treatment for all stages of prostate cancer. It minimizes damage to the bladder and rectum, lowering the risk of treatment-related side effects, such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
