It painlessly delivers radiation through the skin from a machine outside the body. Protons‚ however‚ can target the tumor with lower radiation doses to surrounding normal tissues approximately 60% lower‚ depending on the location of the tumor. Traditional radiation treatment can damage the tissue around the tumor. However‚ with proton therapy‚ the protons’ energy hits the tumor site‚ delivering a smaller dose to surrounding healthy tissue. With standard treatment‚ doctors may need to reduce the

uncontrolled growth of cells. Any collection of abnormal cells is known as a tumor. There are basically two types of tumors. The first is called a benign tumor. This tumor consists of cells that do not spread beyond their initial location. The other type of tumor is called a malignant tumor. A tumor is considered to be malignant when the cells spread or metastasize to other areas of the body. Cancer is diagnosed when the tumor is found to be malignant and can spread to other areas of the body. Although

tissue‚ known as a tumor‚ may be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancerous and may even be completely harmless. Most of the time these can be surgically removed and do not grow back. The cells of benign tumors don ’t spread to other parts of the body and do not threaten your life. Malignant tumors‚ on the other hand‚ are cancerous. These tumors can enter and damage surrounding tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also break away from malignant tumors and get in either

Once a patient has been deemed with a resectable tumor‚ the type of surgery they will undergo will depend on the location of the tumor (Gall‚ Tsakok‚ Wasan & Jiao‚ 2015).

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a malignant tumor which originates from astrocytes. It is a rapid growing tumor that affects the nervous system including the brain and the spinal cord [2]. As the years progress‚ the incidence of GBM increases due to different risk factors like age or race‚ which is associated with poor prognosis

As tumors grow and reproduce‚ they keep the lungs from being able to give oxygen to the bloodstream. Tumors that stay in one area and do not spread are called benign tumors.
