What is proton
therapy best for?

Proton therapy excels when precision is critical, especially for tumours near vital organs like the brain, spine, or heart. It's redefining possibilities for conditions such as:

Proton therapy for head and neck cancer targets the tumour with precision, helping reduce damage to healthy areas like the throat, jaw and salivary glands. It's often used when head and neck radiation therapy is risky or repeated treatment is needed. This can help minimise side effects of radiation to the head and neck.

Limits collateral damage to heart and lung tissues

Proton beam treatment for oesophageal cancer

Proton therapy may be considered for spinal sarcoma or soft tissue sarcoma, especially when tumours are near vital organs such as the spine, chest wall or pelvis. It can also be used in cases of Ewing sarcoma, where precise targeting is important. Proton therapy Ewing sarcoma treatment aims to protect surrounding healthy tissue while effectively managing complex tumour locations.

Proton therapy shielding spinal tumour

Proton therapy offers precise treatment for brain cancer, including glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, and glioma, helping to protect healthy brain tissue. This approach may help reduce side effects and preserve cognitive function in patients with brain tumours, especially in children and older adults.

Precise proton beam treatment for brain cancer

Some patients with lymphoma, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, may benefit from proton therapy lymphoma treatment, particularly when the cancer is located near the chest or neck. Proton therapy can help reduce long-term side effects by minimising radiation exposure to the heart, lungs and surrounding healthy tissue.

Proton therapy lymphoma organ sparing effect

Proton therapy for liver cancer may be used to treat primary liver cancer or liver metastases, with the goal of limiting radiation to healthy liver tissue. This makes proton therapy for liver metastases a potential option when other treatments pose a higher risk to nearby organs.

Proton beam therapy for liver tumour

Proton therapy for prostate cancer may be suitable for men seeking an alternative to surgery, particularly when preserving surrounding tissue is important or surgery is not recommended. Compared to standard prostate radiation, proton radiation for prostate cancer may reduce side effects by limiting damage to surrounding structures, which may help preserve urinary and sexual function.
