    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_therapy

    In medicine, proton therapy, or proton radiotherapy, is a type of particle therapy that uses a beam of protons to irradiate diseased tissue, most often to treat cancer.The chief advantage of proton therapy over other types of external beam radiotherapy is that the dose of protons is deposited over a narrow range of depth; hence in minimal entry, exit, or scattered radiation dose to healthy ...

    The use of proton particle accelerators for external beam radiotherapy was largely developed at this facility in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital. [4] From 1961 to its closing, the laboratory provided proton therapy to over 9,000 patients. [5] After 1974, "almost 3,000" patients were treated for ocular (eye) diseases. [6]

    The most common type of particle therapy as of August 2021 is proton therapy. [ 1 ] In contrast to X-rays ( photon beams) used in older radiotherapy, particle beams exhibit a Bragg peak in energy loss through the body, delivering their maximum radiation dose at or near the tumor and minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues.
