Here is a link to the Loma newsletter in pdf format. Information about the study starts on page 7. Within the body of the article (if you are a technical type) is a reference to the JAMA publication where the study is published. As you can see, this is linked from the Loma site.

Re: Proton Radiation Therapy

It goes without saying that we need to investigate every avenue tohelp make the "difficult decision".The following link provides some more info about PRT.http://www.regence. com/trgmedpol/ medicine/ med49.htmlAs far as I am concerned, I feel more and more comfortable with PRT.I have few more questions I need to investigate before canceling myRobotic surgery date.For those who have already completed their research on PRT, there is a15 year review by Dr. Slater in the TCRT (Technology in Cancer Reseachand Treatment) journal : Vol 5, # 2, April 2006.I was told that it is available in public libraries. But in LosAngeles they don't have it.If anybody has read it, can you share it.Thanks and good luck to all.
