University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center

UH Proton Therapy Center

Proton therapy is an effective treatment option for both children and adults with certain cancers. This innovative, technologically advanced therapy is used worldwide to treat cancer, and we are pleased to be the first to bring this advanced form of radiation therapy to Cleveland, Ohio.

When used in the treatment of specific tumors, proton therapy can decrease side effects, which may result in a better quality of life during treatment, and has the potential to reduce the risk for developing radiation-induced secondary cancers decades after treatment.

This leading-edge technology further enhances the advanced treatment options available to you or your loved one at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center and the Angie Fowler Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Institute at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.
