What is Cancer Recurrence?
Cancer recurrence refers to the return of cancer cells and the formation of a new tumor after the original tumor has been reduced or completely removed following initial cancer treatment. This does not indicate that the initial treatment has failed; rather, it means that some cancer cells that were resistant to treatment survived and eventually grew into a new tumor.
Traditional cancer treatments, such as conventional radiation therapy, may have certain limitations when dealing with recurrent cancer. Photon-based radiation therapy can expose surrounding healthy tissues to higher doses of radiation, which can be an additional burden for patients who have already undergone previous treatments.
One of the key advantages of proton therapy is its ability to deliver high-dose radiation precisely to the tumor while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. Using a beam of proton particles, radiation is targeted directly to the tumor, delivering energy with pinpoint accuracy to destroy cancer cells. Proton therapy also helps reduce side effects, allowing patients to maintain a better quality of life during and after treatment.
