Proton Therapy, Unlimited !
Clinically efficient cancer treatment
Proton therapy delivers high-energy radiation doses directly to the tumour. The physics behind proton therapy enables physicians to deliver highly conformal treatments without depositing unnecessary dose in the surrounding healthy tissues. The Integral Dose delivered per treatment is then much lower than in conventional radiation therapy.
Proton therapy spares the hormone and intellectual centers of the brain, as well as the middle ear, more than the most sophisticated conventional radiation therapy techniques. Current literature indicates that avoiding even low doses to these important areas of the brain can significantly reduce adverse effects and the risk of secondary cancer.
Key advantages of the proton beam in cancer treatment
Little to no
radiation outside the tumour;
-Lower integral dose per treatment;
-Lower risk of induced disorders
(e.g. secondary cancers or child growth abnormality);
-Better quality of life during and after treatment.
