Abstract

Particle therapy is a form of radiation therapy in which high energy ionised particles, most commonly protons or neutrons, are aimed at the target tissue. In the context of breast cancer treatment, proton beam therapy is the most commonly used particle therapy and is therefore the focus of this section.
