Proton Therapy
Proton radiotherapy can be evaluated when both tumor control and critical organ tolerance need to be taken into account (such as those with important structures adjacent to the skull base or those who need repeated radiotherapy). Whether it is applicable depends on the extent of the lesion, previous

How Proton Therapy is performed
Proton radiotherapy is based on the Bragg peak principle, which concentrates the peak dose in the target area to reduce the dose received by distal normal tissues. The process usually includes body position fixation, localization scan and multi-mode image fusion. Doctors and physicists delineate the target area and organs at risk, and optimize the beam path and energy layer. Image guidance and daily verification are performed during treatment, and the plan is adjusted when necessary to match changes in body shape or anatomy. The process focuses on reactions such as mucosa, skin and swallowing, and provides nutritional and oral care support. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific situation is subject to specialist assessment and hospital plan.
