Dr. Weg: Preparing for Proton Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Dr. Emily Weg of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center - Proton Therapy speaks at the Proton Therapy Prostate Dinner Club support group about preparing for proton therapy for prostate cancer. Proton therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses beams of protons (tiny particles with a positive charge) to kill tumor cells. This type of treatment can reduce the amount of radiation damage to healthy tissue near a tumor. It is used to treat cancers of the head and neck and organs such as the brain, eye, lung, spine, and prostate. Proton beam radiation is different from standard X-ray radiation. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center unites comprehensive care and advanced research to provide the latest cancer treatment options and accelerate discoveries that prevent, treat and defeat cancer and infectious diseases worldwide.
