Proton Beam Therapy at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona

The Proton Beam Therapy Program at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona is scheduled to begin treating patients in 2016.  This therapy is an advanced tool treating cancers and tumors in patients with protons beams.

The Proton Beam Therapy uses radiated protons instead of x-rays to treat cancer or tumor cells only without damaging any nearby tissue or organs.  This therapy is particularly specialized to treat cancer and tumors located near delicate organs such as the spine, brain or heart.  The beam can be pinpointed to only go to cancerous cells and not any tissue in front of or behind any tumor.  For young adults and children, this therapy is a wonderful breakthrough.
