Description
Jacinta Yap and coauthors review in 2026 how wider energy acceptance in proton therapy beamlines could make cancer treatment far faster. Proton beams can target tumors precisely, yet switching beam energy between layers slows each session. Slow delivery raises cost and lets patient movement blur the dose.
A beamline that carries many energies without repeated magnet adjustments could cut that switching delay sharply. The authors survey designs that widen the accepted energy range and weigh what ultra-fast delivery would change. Faster sessions could improve dose accuracy, patient comfort, and clinic throughput, opening proton therapy to more patients.
