Protect Yourself, Spare Your Tissues & Silence Future Threats


Compared to standard X-ray radiation and other treatments, California Protons offers patients:

Unmatched Precision

Proton beams can be manipulated to conform to the unique size and shape of the tumor and stop at its edge precisely.

Radiation Dose Variation

Doctors can vary the intensity of the radiation dose at any point within the tumor to optimize treatment.

Treatment for More Tumor Types

Patients with tumors that are larger, more irregularly shaped or found near critical organs or structures can be treated.

Lower Incidence of Secondary Tumors

Reduced radiation to healthy tissues lowers the risk of secondary cancer.

Reduced Side Effects

Diarrhea, nausea, headache and loss of appetite are less likely.

Faster Treatment Times

Our treatment plans can be loaded into the computer and completed in a matter of minutes.

  • "Beyond the phenomenal staff and personal touch during treatment, this was a positive, uplifting experience. I would recommend California Protons to anyone going through radiation treatment.

  • "I wanted to live a long life and didn’t want to risk having a heart attack or heart damage, so I chose proton therapy. After my consultation with Dr. Chang, I just knew that California Protons is where I wanted to be. He spent so much time with me and I felt very confident in his ability."

  • "EUREKA…I found gold!!!! I am so grateful that my husband found this facility and that I was accepted to benefit from their WONDERFUL program! It reduced the secondary damage that is common with traditional radiation by 90% and made the recuperation that much easier, because it was restricted to the exact area of the cancer. Commuting daily for 1 1/2 hours each way, was made more bearable by the greeting of a caring and professional staff of technicians and nurses!!!! I cannot sing praises enough for how wonderful they took care of me. I am cancer free and extremely grateful for this amazing institution!!!"
