ABOUT PROTON THERAPY

Proton therapy is a modern high-precision form of radiation therapy for the fight against cancer, characterized by a combination of high efficiency and gentle effects
on the human body.

The advantage of proton therapy is that protons release the bulk of their energy exactly at the location of the cancerous tumor. As they move through the body, protons slow down. interact with electrons and emit a maximum of radiation at the
end of the path. The place where the largest energy surge occurs is called the Bragg peak. The physician can calculate the Bragg peak in the patient's body so that ti coincides with the center of the cancerous tumor. The effect of protons exactly matches the shape and depth of the neoplasm while at the same time not affecting healthy tissues and organs.
This treatment technique has been used worldwide for many decades.

With technological progress and increased investment in this area, proton therapy is becoming more widely available and in demand from a medical point of view.
