Rapid proton irradiation is a more efficient and minimally invasive treatment for cancer than X-rays. Modern proton treatment, on the other hand, necessitates huge particle accelerators, prompting researchers to look into alternate accelerator technologies such as laser systems to boost protons. In preclinical investigations, such systems are used to pave the path for the most effective radiation therapy.
Irradiation with fast protons is a more effective and less invasive cancer treatment than X-rays. However, modern proton therapy requires large particle accelerators, which has experts investigating alternative accelerator concepts, such as laser systems to accelerate protons.
