Proton therapy is the latest technological development in radiation oncology with a long-established track record of treating tumors in the brain, head and neck, lung, spine, breast and prostate.
Pencil beam scanning targets tumors with bullet-like precision and hyper-focused beams while robotic positioning and 360 degree imaging from the Gantry allows the proton beam to be delivered to the tumor at any angle while minimizing the need to reposition a patient.
Proton therapy is used to treat both adult and pediatric cancers, and when operating at full capacity, a ProtonCare Center in a city the size of Atlanta can be used to treat as many as 1700 patients each year.
