Analysis of the Proton Therapy Controlling System and Application

Abstract

In recent years, the cancel therapy remains a key issue that needs to be addressed for human beings. As a matter of fact, the proton beam therapy (PBT) is a new kind of way to treat tumor by emitting proton beam. Different from conventional radiation therapy, the main principal is to cut the DNA of the tumor cells and prevent further development. In this case, this study will discuss the proton therapy controlling system as well as demonstrate the applications. Comparing to the X-rays, protons can align tumors more precisely and decrease the effect of other normal tissues, which also decrease the side effects. Nevertheless, the proton therapy is still be developed further. Many proton centers are being built and will begin operating in the future. This article popularizes the basic knowledge of proton therapy, from the basic principle, the applications to the limitations. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of proton therapy.
