Cancers Treated at the University of Florida Health Proton Therapy Institute

Proton radiation is most effective in the treatment of localized cancers that have not metastasized or spread to other parts of the body.

Proton therapy can be especially beneficial for patients whose cancers are located near delicate tissues or organs. That’s because proton therapy can deliver effective treatment to cancer, without damaging the healthy tissue around it. Since proton therapy is not easily accessible in all areas of the U.S., your doctor may not have considered proton therapy for your cancer – even if you are a candidate.
