Basic principles of Proton Therapy: how does it work?
Unlike traditional radiotherapy that uses photons to irradiate and kill tumor cells, proton therapy is an advanced form of treatment using protons. These particles give proton therapy its many advantages:
- Fewer radiation outside the tumor;
- Less side effects
- Lower risk of induced disorders;
- Better quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
Proton therapy is changing the way we treat cancer.

"There is much to like about how Kicklighter approaches the filming of A Few Things About Cancer, but mostly it comes down to his ability to capture both the intimacy and personal nature of the story and his awareness that there's universal messages about hope and perseverance unfolding here." - Richard Propes, The Independent Critic (theindependentcritic.com/a_few_things_about_cancer)

"The camera transfixes a single shot held by one of the family members or even his crew from tons of collected footage, sewn together into a seamless blanket covering the illness and recovery of one patient during seven rounds of chemotherapy spanning two-week intervals. Whether a scene is shot by Kicklighter's crew, Caleb's mom, his wife Jada, or even Caleb himself, we see the highs and lows of the treatment, medication, surgery, and all of the solipsistic hours in between. Mock's role as husband, son, and patient, and friend are shored up into a short documentary package intended to humanize the reality of facing mortality at such a young age." - Reap Mediazine (reapmediazine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=292%3Atriumphant-director-james-kicklighter-s-film-kicks-cancer-s-ass-3&catid=2%3Auncategorised&Itemid#.VYBAdWBRi1P)
