Hi,
Proton beam radiation can be used in areas where you are not allowed to use future radiation treatments due to maxed out dosages.

If you’ve already had radiation treatment, that gave you the maximum amount of radiation to the prostate, then you really can’t radiate it again with proton radiation. You can radiate other spots that weren’t radiated previously.
