This is a novel technique to cure cancer which uses high-energy protons for the radiation. Protons have the ability to penetrate deep into the skin only in a specific area without affecting the superficial tissues such as skin, thus showing less side effects and ability to target a specific tissue.

Scholarly peer review is the process of subjecting an author's scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field, before a paper describing this work is published in a journal. The work may be accepted, considered acceptable with revisions, or rejected. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given (narrowly defined) field, who are qualified and able to perform reasonably impartial review.
