Side effects of Proton Therapy

• Proton therapy has far fewer side effects than conventional radiation therapy because it
  targets tumour site with high precision and minimizes normal tissue irradiation.
• However it has been found that side effects appear differently on different patients.
  Symptoms of its side effects may differ depending on cancer site, direction of radiation,
  and radiation dose.
• It is important to discuss with your oncologist before the treatment and fully understand
  the possible side effects/adverse reactions and how to manage them when they actually
  appear.
