Lung cancer is the nation’s leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. Penn Medicine offers a comprehensive team approach for treating lung cancer, including proton therapy, the most advanced form of radiation therapy available today. Radiation oncologists at the Roberts Proton Therapy Center use high-speed protons to create a particle beam that delivers precise radiation directly to the tumor. Proton therapy allows patients to receive higher, more targeted doses of radiation, which helps preserve surrounding healthy tissue. For patients, this means fewer side effects.
