Treatment can be severe and extensive.
For many patients, treatment may be almost as frightening as the disease itself. Proton radiation treatment offers an exciting possibility for managing localized cancer. At Loma Linda we have demonstrated that it treats many kinds of cancer effectively and has helped to reduce the fear of treatment in many of our patients. Since 1990, proton radiation treatment has been available at Loma Linda University Medical Center in the world's first hospital-based proton treatment facility. More than 5000 patients have received proton beam treatment here.
