Ionihoitojen
Ionihoitojen, also known as ion therapy or proton therapy, is a type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. It utilizes protons, which are positively charged subatomic particles, to deliver a precise dose of radiation to cancerous tumors. Unlike conventional X-ray radiation, protons deposit most of their energy at a specific depth within the body, known as the Bragg peak. This allows doctors to target tumors with great accuracy while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues and organs.
The treatment process typically involves a team of medical professionals, including radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and
Ionihoitojen is particularly beneficial for treating cancers located near critical structures, such as in the brain,
