Welcome to the pages of the Proton Center in Prague!

Our goal is to become the leading clinical center using very exact and modern technology for treatment of patients with cancer. Due to the properties of proton therapy, it will be possible to significantly improve and extend treatment of tumours near vital structures with minimal damage to healthy tissue.

The center is ready to accept the first patient in the second half of the year 2012 and becomes the first center of this type in Central and Eastern Europe. We will have 5 treatment rooms including a treatment room for the treatment of eye tumours. There will also be a full range of diagnostic equipment such as CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and a PET/CT camera (examination combining computed tomography and positron emission tomography).

All treatment and other processes related to the operation of the proton center are prepared to comply with the strictest international standards and to ensure the highest quality of treatment is provided to patients from the Czech Republic as well as from abroad. The center will be closely cooperating with the First Faculty of Medicine of Charles University, the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague and other educational institutions supporting science and research, and will be contributing to the development of radiation oncology and other oncological specialisations.

Our main goal and mission is the cured patient. We want to provide patients with the highest possible quality of tumour treatment, which is enabled by unique technology, modern equipment, a pleasant environment and a professional team consisting of experienced, motivated doctors and support staff. We would like to make treatment of better quality by an individual and human approach to the patients. We are persuaded that we will be included among the leading world oncological centers with this approach.

Proton therapy is one of the methods of therapy for malignant tumours that offers the best prospects in the 21st century. The experts assume that amongst the curative therapies, proton therapy will have a stronger position.
Proton therapy has a significant effect on future quality of life!

What are the differences between proton therapy and currently used conventional radiotherapy? Look at the following video comparing both types of therapy.

Proton therapy offers high local control of tumours, a lower probability of damage to healthy tissue, low risk of complications and the chance for a rapid recovery after therapy. Due to the restricted adverse effects of radiation on healthy tissue and the possibility of increasing the dose of radiation to the actual tumour, the development of secondary malignity is reduced.
