World Cancer Day aims to raise worldwide awareness and improve education around preventable cancer deaths while seeking to reduce the global impact of cancer. Texas Center for Proton Therapy is committed to reducing cancer-related deaths in North Texas and beyond by offering a specialized treatment. Proton therapy is a precise form of radiation treatment for a variety of cancers. The treatment’s accuracy works to eliminate cancerous cells while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue near the tumor.
