Proton therapy is an innovative form of radiation treatment that allows for more conformed radiation doses delivered to cancerous tumors .
Proton therapy, now offered at CHOP, is an alternative to traditional radiation treatment for childhood cancer. The brain is very sensitive to radiation treatment, and children whose brain tissue is radiated at a young age can suffer from cognitive, learning, and developmental challenges later in life. Proton therapy targets only cancer cells, significantly reducing the amount of healthy tissue exposed to radiation.
