Proton therapy has several advantages in treating liver cancer over traditional radiation therapy. Since the proton beam is so exact, larger dosages of radiation can be applied to the affected area, while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Proton therapy also successfully addresses technical challenges, including liver movement during treatment when the patient breathes. Christopher Crane, M.D., Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses proton therapy as well as other options available to liver cancer patients.
Very informative video. Proton cancer treatment is really a very effective cancer treatment with very minimal side effects. The only problem with the proton therapy is it's very expensive and there are not many health facility centers that provide proton cancer treatment.
