Proton radiation is an emerging therapy for localized prostate cancer that is being sought with increasing frequency by patients. The physical properties of a proton beam make it ideal for clinical applications; the Bragg peak allows for deposition of dose at a well-defined depth with essentially ...
Proton therapy is a precise treatment for prostate and other cancers that delivers high doses of radiation directly to targeted areas. In prostate cancer patients, proton therapy targets the prostate gland and also the pelvic lymph nodes. At Texas Center for Proton Therapy, our radiation oncologist...
Gerald Chodak for Medscape. This week's commentary was prompted by a news media release from the American Society for Radiation Oncology that claimed that, on the basis of 2 new studies published in their journal, proton therapy is a safe and effective method for treating men with prostate ...
