Proton therapy is a promising new treatment in radiation oncology, using a beam of protons to irradiate cancer or other diseased tissue. The primary advantage of proton therapy compared with other types of external beam therapy is the ability to more precisely localize the radiation dose within the patient’s body, thereby sparing healthy tissue and reducing the risk of secondary tumors. Philips Pinnacle³ Proton Planning has been designed to meet the growing demand for proton therapy by integrating it within the conventional external beam treatment planning process.
