Proton Cancer Centre Health care professionals broadly classify lung cancers into two types: small-cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). This classification depends upon the microscopic appearance of the tumor cells themselves, specifically the size of the cells. These two types of cancers grow and spread in different ways and may have different treatment options. SCLC comprises about 20% of lung cancers which are the most aggressive and rapidly growing of all lung cancers. SCLC is related to cigarette smoking, with only 1% of these tumors occurring in non-smokers. SCLC metastasis rapidly spreads to many sites within the body and are most often discovered after they have spread extensively. Referring to a specific cell appearance often seen when examining samples of SCLC under the microscope, these cancers are sometimes called oat cell carcinomas. NSCLC is the most common lung cancers, accounting for about 80% of all lung cancers. NSCLC can b...

Apollo Proton Beam Therapy Treatment Following are the ideal situation to use the proton beam therapy to cure cancer: 1. For Curing Early Stage Cancer: Radiation therapy is ideally suited to  cure cancers  which are extremely sensitive to radiation. Exposure to radiation beams shrinks these cancers or removes them completely. In the early stages of cancer, radiation is often used to complement chemotherapy, or as a precursor to surgery. 2. It is a Critical Adjunct in Multi-Modal Therapy: Radiation therapy  is used in combination with other forms of treatment, like Medical or Surgical Oncology, to attack cancer cells. Radiation can shrink tumors before chemotherapy or surgery, or attack residual cancerous tissue after other treatment modalities have been used. 3. To Control Cancers From Recurring in other parts of the body: Oncologists often use empirical evidence to predict the course cancer could take. However, cancer has a demonstrated propensity to s...
