Proton therapy is a limited medical resource that is more expensive than conventional x-ray
therapy. To correctly measure the success of proton therapy in treating different conditions,
it is important to check a patient's health status after their treatment is finished.
Checking on the progress of patients over many years (called long-term follow-up) is needed
because the long-term effects of proton therapy are not well known.

The objective of this research protocol is the development of a national Proton Therapy
Center Registry for the purpose of:
1. Performing retrospective research studies on diseases treated with proton therapy
throughout the United States.
2. Maintaining regular, lifetime contact with subjects in order to obtain current
identification , contact information, and self/parent-reported health status in order to
obtain a better understanding of overall treatment strategies and patient benefits of
treatment.
3. Permitting review of medical record information contained within the Registry to
identify subjects who may be eligible for participation in future research studies
conducted at the Proton Therapy Institution where the participant was treated. Obtaining
the permission of Research Registry participants to be contacted to ascertain their
interest in participating in future research studies being conducted at their
participating Proton Therapy Institution for which it appears (i.e., based on medical
information contained within the Research Registry) they may be eligible.

Inclusion Criteria:
