Can Proton Therapy Cure Prostate Cancer?

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF PROTON THERAPY FOR PROSTATE CANCER. MY BIOPSY REVEALED 5 SPECIMANS WITH CANCER CELLS OUT OF 12 TAKEN. THE MOST CONCENTRATED SPECIMAN WAS 80%. THE OTHER 4 WERE 5%. THE AGGRESIVENESS OF THE CANCER WAS LOW TO AVERAGE. I AM CURRENTLY TAKING HORMONE THERAPY WHICH TOOK MY PSA LEVEL FROM 10 TO 0.5. THANK YOU
