Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group

The Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group (PTCOG) is an international organization that brings together experts and facilities focused on advanced cancer treatments using particle therapy, such as protons and heavy ions. These treatments use high-energy particles to precisely target and destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. PTCOG promotes collaboration, research, and the sharing of knowledge to improve the effectiveness and accessibility of particle therapy worldwide, ultimately aiming to enhance outcomes for cancer patients through innovative radiation techniques.
