Proton therapy or proton beam therapy is the most advanced form of radiation therapy which can destroy cancer cells. Doctors may either use proton therapy alone or may use it with chemotherapy, x-ray radiation therapy, surgery, and/or immunotherapy. It painlessly focuses radiation through the skin.. CyberKnifie is another powerful radiation therapy used for cancer treatment. It is a lightweight linear accelerator placed on a robotic arm. Real-time images allow patient movement tracking with high accuracy. The CyberKnife also uses real-time X-rays to find the exact position of the lesion during treatment.
