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....
The management of localised prostate cancer has been a subject of debate for over 30 years. Surgery has improved in quality and proliferated in technique (open, laparoscopic, robotic assisted, and focal). Radiation therapy has done exactly the same (conventional 2-D, conformal 3-D, intensity-mo...
Proton Therapy Candidates Treatment for prostate cancer varies by patient and may depend on how advanced the cancer is and whether it has spread to other parts of the body. In many cases, proton treatment is an ideal option for many prostate cancer patients. Proton therapy can also treat prost...
Treatment for prostate cancer varies depending on the stage and grade of the cancer and if it has spread to other body parts. Proton therapy delivers extremely precise, high doses of radiation directly to tumors, working to eliminate cancer cells while minimizing exposure ...
