Stereotactic body radiotherapy - Type - Mayo Clinic

https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/sbrt/pyc-20446794

Proton beam, also called charged particle. This newer type of stereotactic radiotherapy uses protons to treat tumors over several sessions. Proton beam radiotherapy might be used to treat tumors in parts of the body that have already had radiation therapy. Or they can treat tumors that are near vital organs. See more
