Proton therapy has become a subject of considerable interest in the radiation oncology community and it is expected that there will be a substantial growth in proton treatment facilities during the next decade. I was asked to write a historical review of proton therapy based on my personal experiences, which have all occurred in the United States, so therefore I have a somewhat parochial point of view. Space requirements did not permit me to mention all of the existing proton therapy facilities or the names of all of those who have contributed to proton therapy.
质子治疗已成为放射肿瘤学界备受关注的一个话题，预计在未来十年内质子治疗设施将大幅增加。应要求，我根据自己在美国的个人经历撰写了一篇质子治疗的历史回顾，因此我的观点有些狭隘。限于篇幅，我无法提及所有现有的质子治疗设施，也无法列举所有为质子治疗做出贡献的人员姓名。
