The History and Future of Proton Therapy

Proton therapy has revolutionized radiation oncology since its introduction in the 1950s. With major advancements in imaging, treatment delivery systems, and computer technology in the 1970s, it evolved into a leading-edge option for targeted cancer care. Today, decades of clinical research show proton therapy’s proven ability to minimize damage to healthy tissue while delivering powerful, focused radiation to cancer cells.
