- Abstract:
- Abstract: Proton therapy has significant dosimetric advantages. The rapid drop-off of Bragg peak ensures that the radiation dose for normal tissues around tumor can be significantly decreased while tumor receives the same radiation dose, which can reduce the complications of radiotherapy. However, it is still controversial whether the advantage of proton dosimetry can be fully translated into the benefits of patients. Herein the history, basic principles and technological development of proton therapy are summarized, and its advantages and challenges are discussed.
