Which tumors are most effective with proton heavy ion treatment?

Essentially, proton and heavy ion therapy is a type of radiotherapy , which can also be said to be an enhanced version of radiotherapy. When using particle beams such as protons or heavy ions, the particles can be accelerated to about 0.7 times the speed of light and then bombarded into the human body. Not much energy will be released along the irradiation path, but it reaches the tumor a large amount of energy will be released instantly when area, and the tumor will be attacked. “Precision blasting”. Therefore, proton heavy ion therapy not only has an obvious anti-cancer effect, but also has very few side effects.

Proton heavy ion therapy is suitable for a variety of solid tumors, such as brain tumors, lung cancer, liver cancer , prostate cancer, etc. The evaluation of treatment effect is mainly based on the degree of tumor shrinkage, prolongation of survival and improvement of quality of life. Compared with traditional radiotherapy, proton heavy ion therapy has shown better efficacy and lower side effects in the treatment of many tumors.

Proton heavy ion therapy can be used for most solid tumors in children and adolescents that require radiotherapy, because proton heavy ion therapy can deliver higher radiation doses to the tumor site with high accuracy; while minimizing the impact on surrounding health Exposure of organs and tissues, reducing the side effects of radiotherapy, has now become the “gold standard for radiotherapy of solid tumors in children.”
