How this New Cancer Treatment May Work for You.

Proton Therapy has shown promise in the treatment of a variety of cancers, especially cancer in children. It is most effective in the treatment of localized cancers, or cancers that have not spread to other parts of the body.

Proton Therapy has several advantages over conventional radiation therapy:

  • Effective cancer treatment with minimal side effects
  • May produce results with a shorter course of therapy

Proton Therapy is not readily available in many areas of the country, so your doctor may not have mentioned it as a first choice for treatment. Ask your doctor for more information, or contact us at (904) 588-1800 or toll-free (877) 686-6009.
