Core Tip	This review was written for the non-radiation oncologist who wishes to understand the use of proton beam therapy (PBT) for locally advanced lung cancer. PBT can be used to create treatment plans delivering significantly lower doses of radiation to the adjacent organs at risk (lungs, heart, esophagus, and bone marrow) than photon (X-ray) radiotherapy (XRT). PBT combined with chemotherapy has resulted in relatively low toxicity and favorable survival. One randomized study is being performed and another is planned to clarify the differences in outcome for PBT compared to XRT. Newer forms of radiotherapy such as PBT should positively impact lung cancer patients.
