Prague Proton Therapy Center

The best for life. These few words have become a driving force for us in the last few years, during which the development of the Proton Therapy Center Project in the Czech Republic has taken place. The vision of Proton Therapy as an effective cancer treatment was - and is - the true way forward, as is now confirmed by the current world situation, where in surrounding countries - and worldwide - the development and completion of several proton centers has already been achieved. The foundation stone for our center was laid in 2009 and this was the first step towards making this type of treatment available to inhabitants of the Czech Republic as well as to those from abroad. Our focus is the well-being of our patients who are provided with the highest level of care and comfort. I am pleased that we have a team of world class professionals including top Czech physicists and oncologists. For decades in oncology we've been striving to maximize the effectiveness of treatment while maintaining quality of life, i.e. minimizing the side effects of cancer treatment. With this objective in mind, current radiotherapy focuses on delivering the highest dose of radiation possible to tumor areas while protecting nearby healthy tissues. Proton therapy fully complies with this objective, which has the advantage of specific dose distribution compared with conventional photon therapy methods. Proton irradiation is very exact; the energy of the accelerated protons is mostly transferred directly to the area of the tumour and in comparison with current radiation procedures does not damage healthy tissue behind the tumour and causes much less damage to healthy tissue in front of the tumour. Due to this, proton therapy is associated with a low risk of adverse effects and simultaneously provides a high chance of a cure.
