Proton therapy is safer and more effective than radiation therapy because it delivers a high dose to a specific area. A radiologist uses a beam of protons to deliver a dose of radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. It destroys cancer cells and causes less damage compared to traditional radiation. This procedure is also painless and noninvasive. CyberKnife is used for non-invasive treatment of cancerous and non-cancerous tumors. It is used to treat various cancers, such as brain, spine, prostate, lung, liver, pancreas, head, neck, and kidney. It is an alternative to surgery for patients having inoperable or surgically complex tumors.
