Sarcomas
Sarcomas can occur in bone and soft tissue in many different areas of the body. These types of tumors require high radiation doses to achieve a cure. For this reason, when they occur adjacent to critical structures and organs, proton therapy is advantageous because it can limit the amount of unnecessary radiation resulting in fewer and less severe short- and long-term side effects.
