Proton therapy to treat gynecological cancer
Gynecological cancer such as cervical, endometrial, uterine, vaginal and vulvar cancer can be good indications for proton therapy. Indeed, as it allows for higher doses of radiation to be delivered to the tumor without damaging surrounding healthy tissue and organs, proton therapy has the potential to lead to fewer short- and long-term side effects, especially to the small bowel, large bowel, bladder, kidneys and pelvic bone marrow, and to reduce the impact on urinary and bowel function compared to conventional X-ray therapy. Protons may also help spare hormone function in younger women by preserving the ovaries.
