Neutron Beam Therapy. Like proton therapy, neutron beam therapy is a specialized form of radiation therapy that can be used to treat certain tumors that are radioresistant, meaning that they are very difficult to kill using conventional radiation therapy. Neutron therapy can also be used to treat certain inoperable tumors. Stereotactic Radiotherapy Stereotactic radiotherapy is a technique that allows your radiation oncologist to precisely focus beams of radiation to destroy certain types of tumors.
In a typical treatment plan for proton therapy, the spread out bragg peak (SOBP, dashed blue line) is the therapeutic radiation distribution. The SOBP is the sum of several individual Bragg peaks (thin blue lines) at staggered depths.The depth-dose plot of an X-ray beam (red line) is provided for comparison.roton therapy's chief advantage over other types of external beam radiotherapy is that as a charged particle the dose is deposited over a narrow range and there is minimal exit dose.
