Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation treatment that precisely targets tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue and organs. The proton beam delivers its full dose directly at the tumor site, offering exceptional precision for treating cancers in complex or sensitive areas. This precision means patients may experience fewer side effects and reduced risk of long-term complications compared to some cases where traditional radiation is used.
Moffitt has brought the Proteus One system to Tampa Bay and patients now have access to this leading-edge technology alongside our comprehensive radiation therapy options, ensuring the best treatment choice for each individual's unique cancer.
Proton therapy gives Moffitt patients access to precise treatment delivered by the world's top clinicians, therapists and physicists. With the ability to treat complex and difficult-to-reach tumors, Moffitt and IBA's Proteus®ONE help patients return to their lives faster and with fewer treatment side effects.
Feel confident choosing Moffitt for your cancer care. The team that's treated more cancer patients, pioneered more therapies and is known for the best outcomes in Florida now has the most advanced proton technology with pencil-beam precision. And they are ready to serve you.
