Medical treatments utilizing subatomic particle research, primarily known as "particle therapy," involve using high-energy beams of subatomic particles like protons, carbon ions, or alpha particles, generated by particle accelerators, to target and destroy cancerous tumors with precise accuracy, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues due to a unique property called the "Bragg peak" where most of the radiation is deposited at the end of the particle's path within the body; this is particularly beneficial for deep-seated tumors that are difficult to reach with conventional radiation therapies. Hope it helps :)
