A proton is a positively charged particle, which at high energy can destroy cancer cells. Proton therapy can be used alone or combined with other treatments such as x-ray radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy.

It involves the use of a machine called a synchrotron or cyclotron that speeds up protons, which creates high energy. It makes the protons travel to the required depth in the body and give the targeted radiation dose in the tumor.
