British Journal of Cancer, 2005 Conventional radiation therapy directs photons (X-rays) and electrons at tumours with the intent of eradicating the neoplastic tissue while preserving adjacent normal tissue. Radiation-induced damage to healthy tissue and second malignancies are always a concern, however, when administering radiation.

Srpski arhiv za celokupno lekarstvo, 2021 Proton beam therapy (PBT) is an advanced type of radiotherapy that shows a dosimetric advantage over photon beam therapy and provides superior dose distribution. PBT may improve patient survival by improving the local disease control while reducing toxicity to normal organs, which may result in fewer treatment-related complications.

Proton beam therapy for liver cancers [PDF]
Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology, 2020 Proton beam therapy (PBT) delivers less dose to nearby normal organs compared to X-ray therapy (XRT), which is particularly relevant for treating liver cancers given that both mean and low liver dose are among the most significant predictors of radiation induced liver disease (RILD).

Proton beam therapy for cancer [PDF]
Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2019 KEY POINTS Radiotherapy is a central modality for treatment of cancer in one-third of cancer patients. It is designed to target tumour cells and damage their DNA, while using advanced shaping techniques such as beam modulation to avoid normal tissues.

Proton-counting radiography for proton therapy: a proof of principle using CMOS APS technology [PDF]
, 2014 Despite the early recognition of the potential of proton imaging to assist proton therapy (Cormack 1963 J. Appl. Phys. 34 2722), the modality is still removed from clinical practice, with various approaches in development. For proton-counting radiography
