Therefore, particle therapy is an ideal treatment for localized tumours in the vicinity of radiosensitive organs. Since strongly growing tissue reacts more sensitively to radiation, proton therapy is particularly suitable for cancer in children and adolescents.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":28,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4274","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"gform-image-choice-sm":false,"gform-image-choice-md":false,"gform-image-choice-lg":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"julia.handler@medaustron.at","author_link":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/author\/julia-handlermedaustron-at\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4274"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4274\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6867,"href":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4274\/revisions\/6867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.medaustron.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
