Proton Beam Therapy is the latest form of radiation therapy. This uses a high-energy proton beam for cancer treatment. It is a kind of particle therapy that offers targeted treatment, unlike any other radiation treatment. Proton Beam Therapy is effective for the treatment of cancers like skull base tumors, pediatric cancers, brain tumors, and prostate cancers.. CyberKnifie is another powerful radiation therapy used for cancer treatment. It is a lightweight linear accelerator placed on a robotic arm.
