Fight Cancer with
Proton Therapy
Radiation Treatment
If you have been diagnosed for the first time, or are facing recurrent cancer, proton therapy may be your best option as one of the world’s safest and most effective cancer treatments.
Proton therapy is a much less invasive alternative, recommended for numerous types of cancers that historically have been treated through traditional approaches such as surgery, chemotherapy and X-ray radiation. Located in San Diego, California Protons Cancer Therapy Center is at the forefront of medical care, research and biotechnology. With decades of combined proton experience, our world-renowned doctors leverage revolutionary cancer-fighting treatments and tools to treat both common and very rare cancers.
Revolutionary
Tumor Radiation Treatment
Precisely delivered within 2 millimeters, our intensity-modulated pencil beam scanning technology, offered in all five treatment rooms, releases a high dose of cancer-killing radiation that conforms precisely to the unique shape and size of the tumor. This highly targeted technology attacks the tumor with laser-like precision, while sparing surrounding healthy tissues and organs.

Success Stories
I wanted to live a long life and didn’t want to risk having a heart attack or heart damage, so I chose proton therapy. After my consultation with Dr. Chang, I just knew that California Protons is where I wanted to be. He spent so much time with me and I felt very confident in his ability.
Breast Cancer Patient
Proton therapy was a ‘game changer.’ Not a day goes by that I don’t think how fortunate we were to live six miles away from one of the best proton centers in the world. The entire staff is amazing. Compassionate, knowledgeable and the follow-up was incredible.
Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma Patient
I have experienced absolutely no side effects from my treatments. I coached my men’s and women’s cross-country teams throughout my treatments, without missing a single day. I’ve maintained the intimacy I value so much with my wife, JoAnn, and remain active as a father and mentor in the community.
