Four advantages of proton therapy

Proton therapy is currently the most popular topic in medical circles, as one of the most advanced and most sophisticated treatment technology, has successfully treated many patients with tumor, radiotherapy is twentieth Century methodology a qualitative leap. There are a large number of authoritative medical journals made a special report on it, there are also many countries pay the manpower and material resources for research and technology transfer, in the end it has what magic, exactly what is the significance of it in tumor circles, what are the advantages compared to other treatment techniques?
1 cure rate is extremely high
Deep traditional radiation therapy in ray with body tissue, energy gradually decay, and the proton as positively charged ions, into the body at high speed, occurred in vivo and normal tissues or cells of the opportunity is very low, when the specific parts to cancer cells, reduce speed and stop suddenly, the biggest release energy, produce Bragg peak, kill cancer cells.
2 side effects
At present, although radiation therapy in the treatment of cancer has achieved remarkable curative effect, but due to X - ray or gamma ray attenuation is in the form of index, the range cannot be controlled, so the normal tissue and tumor tissue after superficial injury and proton therapy when the tumor is large; the front end of the tissue was only minimal exposure to the back side of the tumor and normal tissue irradiation is zero, almost no damage to the normal tissue.
3 high accuracy
Because of the high quality proton scattering in the material, less in the irradiated area around only a small penumbra, reduces the irradiation dose of the surrounding normal tissue, thus providing the accuracy of tumor therapy. The traditional radiotherapy can not control range, and proton beam can use automation technology that the energy release control direction, position and range, the Bragg peak in the control of tumor target boundaries, to achieve directional blasting".
4 make up for deficiencies in other treatments
For tumors with an important tissue and organ, other therapies are at a loss, and proton therapy shows great advantages. There was no recurrence of glioma in the target area after proton therapy.
