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.
Proton therapy is an advanced type of radiation treatment that uses a beam of protons to deliver radiation directly to the tumor, destroying cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues. Protons enter the body with a low radiation dose, stop at the tumor, match its shape and volume or depth, and deposit the bulk of their cancer-fighting energy right at the tumor.
