The reason I mentioned IMPT is that it was (I believe) designed to treat difficult to reach tumors, like brain, lung, etc. The articles I read (years ago) said that IMPT reaches the tumor without any damage to cells going in or out and when it reaches the pre computer designed tumor coordinates it enters it and conforms to the tumor and like a smart bomb, destroys just the tumor. So when you mentioned your "highly promblematic" tumor I thought that IMPT might be able to reach it and destroy it safely.
