Pencil-beam scanning, also called spot-scanning, is an advanced form of proton therapy that delivers ultra-fine, targeted doses of radiation to each layer of a patient’s tumor. This level of precision makes pencil-beam scanning a powerful option for treating complex tumors, especially when paired with the expertise and support patients receive at Texas Oncology.

What sets us apart is our collaborative, patient-centered approach. With more than 550 physicians across the state, our patients receive world-class care close to home. Additionally, Texas Center for Proton Therapy is the largest pencil-beam proton center in Texas and one of the few centers nationwide offering this form of proton therapy.
