Proton Therapy allows the radiation oncologist to only target the cancer cells, sparing surrounding tissue and organs. Daniel Gomez, M.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology, discusses this treatment option for esophageal cancer and shares additional information about the disease.
