Is Proton Beam possible for carcinoid tumors?

Posted by panorman3 @panorman3, 2 days ago

If this works on the brain it could possibly work on my Carcinoid tumor in my mesentery where no one wants to operate.
Keep me informed.

Hi panorman3
I did some searching and if you are a member of Dr Liu’s Facebook group

I went in to the search feature and found many posts about Proton Beam treatment. It does sound like it can cause damage to surrounding tissue and is usually reserved for other types of cancers.
I hope you find this helpful! Best wishes in your journey! 🙏
