Heavy particle therapy has a good biological effect
Liu Yu-ming, Director of Radiation Oncology, Department of Oncology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, said, "Heavy particle therapy has a good biological effect and can accurately irradiate the tumor to achieve the same effect as surgical treatment or better, but without the pain of surgery, the irradiation is less frequent, less harm to the tumor periphery and normal tissues, and low side effects, patients' psychological well-being, and the ability to improve the health of the patient.
