Benefits of Proton Therapy

• High therapeutic ratio (maximum tumour control and minimum side effects)
• Ability to irradiate tumours situated at close proximity to vulnerable organs e.g. small
  bowels and optic chiasm.
• Reduces the possibility of secondary cancers caused by conventional radiation therapy,
  especially in children and young adults
• An alternative for elderly and patients who are unfit for surgeries due to their medical
  comorbidities.
• Treated on an outpatient basis.
