Proton Beam Therapy is an advanced form of radiation treatment that uses protons instead of traditional X-rays to destroy cancer cells with extreme precision. It allows doctors to target tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy organs
At Apollo Proton Cancer Centre Chennai, proton therapy is used to treat complex and sensitive tumors including brain, spine, lung, liver, and pediatric cancers. Treatment is typically delivered in multiple outpatient sessions, with most patients experiencing fewer side effects compared to conventional radiation therapy.
