Head and Neck Cancers

Proton therapy delivers a more targeted, precise dose of radiation than traditional radiation therapy — a level of precision that is necessary when considering treatment for cancers of the head and neck.^{5, 9, 11, 12}

Because of their extreme proximity to vital organs, glands and nerves, proton radiation is an excellent treatment option for malignancies around delicate areas like your head and neck region. Hampton Proton oncologist Dr. Allan Thorton is a specialist in the treatment of head and neck cancers.
