NAPT White Paper: VA Access

Introducing a bill that supports the inclusion of proton therapy in the VHA coverage policy for radiation cancer treatment is a crucial step toward improving the lives of veterans.

Cancer is a significant health concern, especially among veterans who may have an increased risk due to environmental exposures during their service. It is imperative that Congress introduces a bill to support the inclusion of proton therapy in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) coverage policy for radiation cancer treatment. Proton therapy, a highly targeted and precise cancer treatment, has shown remarkable advantages in terms of reducing side effects, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing the quality of life during treatment and survivorship.
