Frequently asked questions

Whether you’re just learning about proton therapy, preparing for treatment, or weighing your options, you’ll find honest answers to the questions patients and families ask us most often.

That’s not the end of the road. it just means proton therapy isn’t the right fit for your specific case. In some cases, conventional radiotherapy (including techniques like IMRT, VMAT, or SBRT) remains a highly effective and appropriate option. In others, a different approach altogether, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, may be more suitable. Your radiation oncologist will explain the reasoning behind the recommendation and, where needed, help coordinate your care with the right specialists.
