Proton/carbon facilities

From Beacon

Proton and carbon therapy facilities provide advanced radiation treatments for cancer, utilizing protons or carbon ions to precisely target and destroy cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. These therapies are particularly effective for treating tumours that are difficult to reach or resistant to conventional radiation therapy. Proton therapy uses positively charged particles, while carbon ion therapy uses heavier particles, both offering highly targeted doses of radiation. The facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by specialized healthcare professionals, ensuring patients receive cutting-edge care with minimized side effects. These therapies offer hope for improved outcomes, especially in complex and challenging cancer cases.
