Clinic Proton Therapy Center, Prague in Prague
At the Proton Therapy Center, we use the Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS) technology, which allows for precise targeting and distribution of the proton beam dose. At present, it represents the absolute pinnacle of proton therapy technology. Pencil beam scanning irradiates the target area (tumor) with millimetre precision, thus minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues and organs. PBS increases patients' chance of recovery and good quality of life after treatment. Treatment outcomes achieved by the Proton Therapy Center team have in the long term ranked us at the leading edge among proton centers. Few patients are aware of the complexity of the technology hidden below the Proton Therapy Center, which ultimately allows us to treat cancer gently. Protons, the positively charged elementary nuclei of the hydrogen atom, are accelerated in the cyclotron to approximately half the speed of light. This provides them with energy to destroy tumours up to 30 centimetres deep. Then the protons are directed via a strong magnetic field into a very narrow beam and transferred to the tumour with high precision. As protons impact tumour tissue, they release energy, ionise, and damage the DNA of the affected cell. When the protons damage the tumour repeatedly, the cancer cells stop dividing or immediately die.
