A review of proton therapy – Current status and future directions

Precision Radiation Oncology, 2022
The original rationale for proton therapy was its highly conformal depth‐dose distributions compared to photons, which allow greater sparing of normal tissues and escalation of tumor doses, thus potentially improving outcomes.
