Proton therapy is nonsurgical, noninvasive, and clinically proven to result in minimal side effects.

Pencil beam scanning uses a tumor’s location, shape and size to create a customized pattern of protons to precisely treat the tumor while avoiding nearby healthy tissue.

Proton Therapy and You

At Hampton Proton, your treatment is personalized. Your care team—including your radiation oncologist, medical physicist, dosimetrist, and radiation therapists—works together to design a plan tailored specifically to your diagnosis and anatomy.

We use advanced treatment-planning software and state-of-the-art proton therapy technology to deliver radiation with precision, while supporting you emotionally and physically through every step of care.

How Proton Therapy Works

Protons behave differently than traditional X-ray radiation.
As they enter the body, protons slow down and release their maximum energy directly at the tumor, then stop.

This allows us to:

  • Potentially reduce side effects during and after treatment
  • Target the cancer with high accuracy
  • Reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissue and organs

How Proton Therapy Treats Cancer

Proton therapy delivers precise radiation directly to the tumor while reducing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. This advanced treatment allows us to target cancer with accuracy, lessen side effects, and support better long-term outcomes for patients.
