Cancer Newsline - Proton Pencil Beam Therapy - M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Audio

www3.mdanderson.org — “Video - Proton Therapy Center at M. D. Anderson is the largest and most sophisticated facility of its kind in the world. Proton therapy derives its advantage over traditional forms of radiation treatment from its ability to deliver radiation doses to a targeted tumor with remarkable precision " within one millimeter " that avoids the surrounding tissue, generates fewer side effects and improves tumor control. The twin goals of controlling disease and minimizing side effects are the aims of radiaView full resource at www3.mdanderson.org
