Vice President of Design and Construction at Proton International , Jay Beranek , discusses how the proton industry has transformed over the last few years

D igital transformation is affecting all industries as companies adapt to the latest trends in order to achieve success with their offerings . In the case of cancer treatments , it has also allowed for proton therapy to have a more significant impact in the sector . Proton therapy , which is a type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer , utilises protons instead of x-rays in order to battle the disease . As a positively charged particle , protons can destroy cancer cells and are often combined with chemotherapy , surgery , radiation therapy and immunotherapy . Vice President of Design and Construction at Proton International , Jay Beranek , has overseen a significant transformation in the construction of cancer treatment centers since arriving at the company in 2011 . In the years since , Beranek believes that technology has become increasingly important to Proton International .
