Survivorship Benefits of Proton Therapy

This video includes short presentations on the survivorship benefits for patients treated with proton therapy. With improvements in early detection and the treatment of cancer, the number of cancer survivors continues to grow, exceeding 14 million in the US alone. Long-term and late effects of cancer treatments are a concern for survivors hoping to live long, healthy lives after treatment. Proton therapy can reduce the late effects compared to traditional radiation therapy. This video will address those benefits for several groups of patients.
