  Keith is on location in Houston, Texas, to talk with Steven J. Frank, MD, Medical Director of the MD Anderson Proton Therapy Center.   Steven was inspired by his background onboard the U.S. Navy's Submarine Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program to study medicine and to use his background in nuclear engineering to research radiation oncology.  Proton radiation therapy is the most advanced radiation treatment available to treat numerous types of cancers by more directly targeting cancerous tumors. http://www.mdanderson.org/patient-and-cancer-information/proton-therapy-center/index.html
