A proton walks into a bar, sits down and orders a drink. After finishing the drink, the bartender says, "Would you like another drink?".
The proton says, "No, thanks."
A few minutes later, the bartender approaches the proton again and says, "Are you sure you don't want another drink?"

The Cancer Problem
![Page 11: The Promise of Protons in Cancer Therapy · 2011. 1. 19. · The Promise of Protons in Cancer Therapy Nancy Price Mendenhall, M.D. American Association of Physics Teachers Jacksonville,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052100/603a35f7221db8430e4a4d99/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Nature of Cancer
•Most cancers arise from a single cell that has mutated.
•The main clinical characteristic of cancer is its aberrant growth pattern.
![Page 12: The Promise of Protons in Cancer Therapy · 2011. 1. 19. · The Promise of Protons in Cancer Therapy Nancy Price Mendenhall, M.D. American Association of Physics Teachers Jacksonville,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052100/603a35f7221db8430e4a4d99/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cancer Growth
•Cancer grows locally, beyond the
usual normal tissue boundaries, compressing or destroying adjacent tissues.
•In addition, most cancers can metastasize by shedding cells into the
bloodstream, lymphatic fluid, or other body fluids that can travel to and
colonize a distance site.

Radiation Therapy Basics
Radiation damage is non-specific.
Response* probability dose-relatedand volume-related.
Dose distribution key to outcome.
*Cancer control and normal tissue damage.

Radiation Therapy
In radiation oncology, dose distribution is the main challenge. . .
Oftentimesradiation doses are limited to avoid toxicity.Sometimes the price of cure is a complication.

Production of Proton Beams
• Cyclotron: 230 MeV proton beams (~33 cm depth in water)
• Energy degrader: reduce energy to the desired value
• Beam line: guide the proton beam to the treatment room
• At the end of the beam line, the proton beam is
• Small and narrow
• Monoenergetic (almost)

Promise of Proton Therapy
•Reduced toxicity (brain function, vision preservation, gastrointestinal damage, pulmonary damage, thyroid and reproductive organ function, cardiovascular disease and second malignancy)
• Increased cure rates through dose escalation and or intensification.
•Reduced health care costs through lowering costs of recurrence and toxicity and reducing overall treatment time.
•Main barrier to proliferation of proton facilities for treatment is cost.
