Proton vs. x-ray radiation treatment study.

| Have there been relatively unbiased studies comparing outcomes of proton
irradiation to x-ray/electron irradiation for various conditions including
cancer?

The reason I used the term "unbiased" in my original post is because Loma
Linda university IS the California center for this kind of treatment. No
matter how ethical their research may be, I would be very surprised if the
think, probably deservedly, that their work is good.
I do understand why protons can be superior to x-rays for radiation
treatment in terms of scattering and energy deposition, but one experiment
can put great theories to shame.
