Behind the Science is a video series featuring Moffitt Cancer Center clinicians and researchers spearheading novel therapies and groundbreaking treatments. You’ll get an up-close look at the innovative research being conducted every day.

Proton therapy uses positively charged particles that are energized to deposit its dose in tumors. It’s more precise and reduces risk of long-term toxicity. This technology can improve cure rates and lessen side effects. Learn more about this tool in our arsenal from Dr. Ronica Nanda in Moffitt’s Radiation Oncology Program.
