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...
This chapter summarizes the physics of proton therapy and recent technical advances in the delivery of the proton beam and reveiws the published clinical data. This chapter also describes the protocol used at MD Anderson for treating prostate cancer with proton therapy....

Proton therapy has been around for nearly 60 years; tens of thousands of patients have been treated - mostly prostate cancer patients; it is FDA approved, reimbursed by Medicare and about 150 private insurers. Reputable medical centers in the U.S. and around the world have embraced the technol...
A boost of proton therapy led to less biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer in a new study, although it was not a head-to-head comparison of proton therapy and conventional radiation technology.
