A person with cancer may feel these things during Cancer Treatment . 1.  A range of strong emotions, such as disbelief, fear, sadness, anxiety, and anger.

Brain Tumor: The treatment of  brain tumors  is a complicated process, as they are located near vital structures - hormonal, sensory and neurological centers - where damage can result in serious adverse effects such as neurocognitive, hormonal & auditory disorders. This is why proton therapy, with revolutionary delivery modes like Pencil Beam Scanning, is the clear leader to treat CNS cancers. Proton therapy has globally proven to Reduce the dose of radiation by 60% to surrounding structures such as the hippocampus, cochlea, and pituitary. Reduce the incidence of second cancers by 50%. 2. Skull Base Tumors: Proton therapy is an ideal modality for treating skull base and cervical spine tumors such as chordoma and chondrosar...

Cancer begins when healthy cells change and grow out of control, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be cancerous or benign. A  cancerous tumor  is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor means the tumor can grow but will not spread. Treatment of Head & Neck Cancer “Head and neck cancer” is the term used to describe a number of different malignant tumors that develop in or around the throat, larynx, nose, sinuses, and mouth (see below). Most  head and neck cancers  are squamous cell carcinomas. This type of cancer begins in the flat squamous cells that make up the thin layer of tissue on the surface of the structures in the head and neck. Directly beneath this lining, which is called the epithelium, some areas of the head and neck have a layer of moist tissue, called the mucosa. If cancer is only found in the squamous layer of cells, it is called carcinoma in situ. If cancer has grown beyond this cell...
