[00:00:00]Cancers [music] [music] of the oral cavity are [music] often treated with radiation after surgery.

[00:00:19]This area is very very sensitive.

[00:00:21][music] It has a number of nerve endings. We have found that proton therapy helps immensely in reducing [music] the radiation dose that is going to the lining of the cheek and the throat as well as the swallowing muscles making the treatment of this cancer [music] much easier to go through. And the other advantage and very important advantage of this is that we have noted that the local control and survival of patients [music] undergoing treatment when we have matched them with a population treated with IGMRT has been much better.
