Abstract

The authors reflect on the use of particle therapy to treat various types of cancers. They suggest that particle therapy is the next logical step in the improvement of radiotherapy which is used to treat cancer. They argue that it will be challenging to distribute and share knowledge about particle therapy to medical professionals in the field of radiation oncology.
