Abstract
Proton Beam Therapy is one of the key elements in a major improvement in access to advanced radiotherapy in the UK. An overseas programme has treated significant numbers of children and young adults and skull base tumours since 2008. A major government investment has resulted in building two proton centres in England sited in academic major cancer centres. A weak evidence base for most adult indications means that the NHS will use clinical trials and studies to explore the future role of Protons.
