Dr. Adrian Crellin, consultant clinical oncologist and clinical lead for the National Proton Beam Therapy Service, explained the rationale for building the two new proton therapy facilities -- which between them will provide capacity to treat up to 1,500 patients per year. Proton therapy, he says, is all about reducing treatment side effects. With many pediatric cancers having high cure rates, and young patients living for long times after treatment, it's imperative to minimize the irradiation of healthy, developing tissue.
