В статье представлены два мнения в отношении протонной лучевой терапии, ее физических основ, дозиметрических особенностей и клинической эффективности в сравнении с более традиционным фотонным облучением, а также мнение авторов в отношении целесообразности расширения показаний к протонной терапии и открытия новых центров по лечению протонами в мире. Данный обзор стал продолжением дискуссионной сессии по протонной терапии, состоявшейся на XXIII Российском онкологическом конгрессе в ноябре 2019 года.

The article presents two opinions regarding proton radiation therapy, its physical basis, dosimetric specifics and clinical efficacy in comparison with more traditional photon irradiation, as well as the authors» opinions concerning the expanding indications for proton therapy and the rationale for opening new centers for proton treatment in the world. This review has become a continuation of the discussion session on proton therapy held at the XXIII Russian Oncology Congress in November 2019.
