Proton therapy is a precise form of radiation treatment that targets tumors while sparing surrounding healthy tissue far more effectively than conventional photon-based radiation. For international patients weighing treatment options, understanding which U.S. centers offer this technology — and for which cancers it makes the most difference — is a critical first step.
This guide walks through what proton therapy is, how it compares to standard radiation, and which leading U.S. cancer centers offer it, so you can have an informed conversation with your care team before deciding on a treatment path.
