Hello, I want to know about Proton therapy. Is it better and safer than other types of radiotherapy? Are there any side-effects of this therapy?

Proton therapy is more or less similar to radiation therapy, but its approach is more targeted. It delivers proton beams at cancer cells with better precision. Therefore the risk of damaging tissues around the tumor is lower than with standard radiation.

The treatment is suitable for cancers that involve tumors near sensitive parts of the body. But still consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai, or any other city, as it is finally treating clinician's decision to decide the best treatment for patient. Hope our answer helps you.

Your uncle's situation with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma on the opposite side of his tongue is difficult. Treating this type of cancer again can involve surgery, radiation therapy, or combining both approaches. The reason for recurrence often stems from remaining cancerous cells left behind after initial surgery. Your uncle must consult his oncologist about subsequent treatment options available.

Post-surgery, fluid collections resembling cysts often occur harmlessly on scans. Typically, these dissipate independently without causing symptoms. However, if the cyst triggers symptoms or expands, consulting your oncologist ensures everything is well.
