Less Side Effects. More Effective Treatment.
Proton therapy treats cancers throughout the body with high cure rates and a low risk of side effects.
Unlike traditional radiation, proton therapy targets cancerous tumors throughout the body with highly precise doses of protons. Since protons are easier to control, higher – and potentially more effective – doses of radiation can be delivered to the cancer site, without causing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
A non-profit academic treatment and research center, the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute is the only facility of its kind in the Southeastern United States.
Since opening its doors, the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute has offered more than 1,800 patients a promising alternative to traditional radiation. A lower risk of side effects, more precise treatment capabilities, and an impressive success rate make proton therapy an option for patients diagnosed with:
- Brain cancer
- Head and neck cancer
- Lung cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Soft tissue cancer
- Pediatric cancer
