The National Association for Proton Therapy (NAPT) is the Voice of the Proton Community in the U.S. NAPT promotes the clinical benefits of proton beam radiation therapy for cancer patients and their families. Founded in 1990, NAPT is an independent, non-profit, public benefit corporation. It serves as a resource center for cancer patients and their families, physicians and health care providers, academic medical centers, cancer centers, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and other federal health care agencies, members of Congress and staff, and the nation's news media.

We are strong advocates for proton therapy and the delivery and effectiveness of a superior and far more advanced form of radiation treatment that results in less morbidity and minimum to no side effects.
