Advanced Particle Therapy

Advanced Particle Therapy is a precise form of cancer treatment that uses high-energy particles, like protons or heavier ions, to target tumors. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, these particles can better focus on cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This is achieved because particles release most of their energy directly in the tumor area, thanks to a property called the Bragg peak. As a result, it provides effective treatment for complex or hard-to-reach cancers, with potentially fewer side effects. It’s an innovative approach that combines physics and medicine to improve patient outcomes.
