“Search of the web says it’s in trial.” That’s not really accurate. Proton had been used as a salvage radiation tool after conventional radiation for many years. Never saw reading the studies you referenced where it said it was “in trail” or more trials are still needed. It’s a current valid method that is being used today.

You say it’s been used for many years, but the people I constantly hear from don’t seem to Corroborate that. Like I say, I have never heard of it being used, And I am seeing and hearing from people constantly, that are talking about their treatments. Do a search for it in this forum. I don’t think you will hear of one case, if it’s so much used, then you sure should hear about it.
It would take many years of evaluation before they know what the real long-term side effects are of doing radiation over what was referred to as maximum lifetime dose of IMRT or SBRT.
Do you personally know people that have had this treatment?
