Proton Therapy For Pediatric Patients

Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation treatment that uses high-energy proton beams to precisely target and destroy cancer cells. Unlike traditional X-ray radiation, protons can be controlled to stop at a specific depth in the body, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This makes it especially effective for treating tumors near critical organs or in pediatric patients.
