Greetings!

 

This is a reminder that you are invited to join ACCO and the MD Anderson Proton Therapy Center for a FREE webinar about proton therapy, an advanced form of radiation used to treat many types of cancer, including childhood tumors. The ability to precisely target tumors makes proton therapy ideal for treating childhood cancers. It provides accurate treatment of tumors near or within sensitive organs while limiting radiation exposure to healthy tissues and reducing the risk of side effects, which is vital in children whose bodies are still growing and developing.

 

Please join us on 

Wednesday, April 25th at 11a.m. PST/ 1p.m. CST/ 2p.m. EST

 

 

Warmest Regards,
