Proton Therapy is commonly known as proton radiation, treats malignancies with high-energy beams

  Proton therapy is a type of radiation therapy that treats cancer and some noncancerous lesions with high-powered energy. These disorders have long been treated with X-ray radiation treatment. Proton therapy is a relatively new type of radiation therapy that use the energy of positively charged ions (protons). Proton Therapy has showed potential in the treatment of many cancers. Because doctors can better control where proton beams transmit their energy, studies have suggested that proton treatment may produce less side effects than standard radiation. However, because there have been few studies comparing proton and X-ray radiation, it's unclear whether proton treatment is more effective at extending life. Proton therapy Market Drivers- Over the forecast period, rising cancer prevalence is expected to drive growth in the worldwide proton treatment market. According to the World Health Organization, cancer caused around 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths globally...
