Cancer diagnosis among teenagers and young adults is on the rise, and with so much life left to look forward to, it’s critical that younger people with cancer know about beneficial and curative treatments.
Traditional radiation for cancer treatment targets the tumor site but also gives a large dose of radiation to the surrounding healthy tissue. Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation that stops at the tumor site and spares healthy tissue, resulting in far fewer side effects and the preservation of quality of life.
