  In the medical field, proton therapy or proton radiography, is a form of radiotherapy, which employs a series of protons, usually paired with an anti-proton beam, to irradiate affected tissue, commonly to cure cancer. When the protons are combined with an electron, or nucleus, they become highly energetic and emit gamma rays. These gamma rays are used to target specific cancerous cells in the treatment of cancer by generating a burst of heat through neutrons and / or electrons. These rays are then absorbed by cancerous tissue to destroy it. This suggests that growth of the intensity-modulated proton therapy market is driven by high incidence of cancer worldwide. Intensity modulated proton therapy implies the electromagnetic spatial control of well-circumscribed beams of protons of variable energy and intensity. Proton therapy was first used on patients suffering from breast cancer who had no other alternative, apart from surgically removing the whole breast (mastectomy) to rem...
