A type of radiation therapy, proton therapy is used to treat cancer. It treats cancer using protons rather than x-rays.
Proton therapy is a kind of radiation therapy — a therapy that utilizes high-energy shafts to treat tumors. Radiation therapy utilizing X-beams has for some time been utilized to treat malignancies and noncancerous (kindhearted) tumors. Proton therapy is a more current kind of radiation therapy that utilizes energy from emphatically charged particles called protons. Proton therapy has shown guarantee in treating a few sorts of malignant growth. Studies have proposed that proton therapy might cause less incidental effects than conventional radiation, since specialists can more readily control where the proton radiates store their energy. In any case, scarcely any investigations have straightforwardly analyzed proton therapy radiation and X-beam radiation, so it's not satisfactory whether proton therapy is more successful in delaying lives. A machine called a synchrotron or cyclotron speeds up protons. The high velocity of the protons makes high energy. This energy makes the p...
