Written By Shelby Williams

“California Protons, located in San Diego, is the only center in the state using clinically proven, revolutionary technology to deliver proton therapy radiation with unmatched precision and the utmost care. It’s one of the safest and most effective cancer treatments in the world, which can result in high cure rates, reduced side effects and improved outcomes.” - California Protons.

BENEFITS OF OUR
PENCIL BEAM TECHNOLOGY:

  • Compared to standard X-ray radiation and other treatment technologies, California Protons offers patients:

UNMATCHED PRECISION:

  • Proton beams can be manipulated to conform to the unique size and shape of the tumor and stop at its edge precisely.

RADIATION DOSE VARIATION:

  • Doctors can vary the intensity of the radiation dose at any point within the tumor to optimize treatment.

TREATMENT FOR MORE TUMOR TYPES:

  • Patients with tumors that are larger, more irregularly shaped or found near critical organs or structures can be treated.

LOWER INCIDENCE OF SECONDARY TUMORS:

  • Reduced radiation to healthy tissues lowers the risk of secondary cancer.

REDUCED SIDE EFFECTS:

  • Diarrhea, nausea, headache and loss of appetite are less likely.

FASTER TREATMENT TIMES:

  • Our treatment plans can be loaded into the computer and completed in a matter of minutes.
