- The U.S. has successfully used a technique called step-and-shoot spot-scanning proton arc therapy (SPArc) to treat a patient’s adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) for the first time.
- The SPArc works by targeting tumours with protons while sparing surrounding tissue.
- The ACC is a relatively rare form of cancer that most commonly develops in the salivary glands or other regions of the head and neck.
- But these technologies are very expensive one and are often suitable for a small patient population.
