Proton therapy is a rapidly growing advanced external beam radiotherapy modality used to treat malignant and benign tumors, with a potential clinical advantag on the basis of the elimination of medically unnecessary exit-dose compared with conventional x-ray (photon) radiotherapy.
Proton therapy is established as a national treatment option in Norway from 2024. In Singapore proton therapy has been in use since 2019.
