How does proton treatment work?
Treatments are usually given five days a week, for a period of 6 to 8 weeks. The actual proton beam time is about one to two minutes, but total daily treatment time can range from 30 minutes to an hour due to the time spent carefully positioning the patient. For more information on the treatment process, see What to Expect.
