About the offer

Doctors use proton therapy to treat brain tumors because it is precise, has few side effects, and works well in complex cases. For certain patients, proton therapy's accuracy and reduced side effects make it a preferred treatment option, especially for difficult or hard-to-reach tumors near critical structures and for treating recurrent neoplasms, where traditional radiation therapy may pose more risks. Proton therapy is a non-surgical outpatient treatment for brain tumors, offering minimal impact on healthy brain tissues. The process starts with exams, consultations, and lab tests to assess the patient's health. An MRI scan determines whether the patient is a good candidate for proton therapy and finds the tumor accurately. Before beginning treatment, the radiation oncology team plans the proton beam's radiation dose, duration, and position. Then, during a simulation appointment, they take 3D brain images, map the tumor, place yourself, mark the beam entry point, and fit a mesh mask for head stability. Each session takes 15 minutes, with an hour-long visit to the clinic. After-procedure care and treatment for symptoms are performed. Proton therapy is an alternative to traditional radiotherapy for brain tumor patients because it is more accurate and powerful, has fewer side effects, doesn't involve surgery, and doesn't require patients to stay in the hospital.
