What does RPTC mean in THERAPY

Proton beam therapy is a type of radiation therapy used to treat certain types of cancer. It uses high-energy protons to kill cancer cells and reduce tumor size. By using pinpoint accuracy, it helps minimize damage to healthy tissue while still delivering effective treatment.

Proton therapy can be used to treat many kinds of cancers including prostate cancer, liver cancer, and brain tumors. It may also be used for some benign tumors or conditions in adults or children. Consult with your physician to find out if you are eligible for this treatment option.

Proton therapy offers several advantages over traditional radiation treatments such as fewer short-term side effects, reduced risk of late effects, more accurate targeting and higher doses delivered during each session. Depending on the particular case and overall health status, these benefits may make proton therapy an ideal choice when undergoing radiation treatment.

The Rinecker Proton Therapy Center was established in 1992 and was the first such facility located outside the US. It has since become a leader in research and development regarding new technologies in proton beam therapy.
