This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Re: Does Medicare cover Proton Beam Radiation Therapy?
Terry:
Joe H's response appears to be "right on".
As part of your research effort I suggest you Google UFPTI then click on:
"University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute response to prostate cancer treatment comparison published Dec. 13, 2012 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute" in the right hand column.
