Proton therapy is also able to substantially eliminate exposure of the spinal cord to radiation, thus reducing the risk of it being damaged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Malignant lymphomas are conditions which very often affect people at a&nbsp;young age. The patients usually recover after cancer treatment; therefore, it is desirable to prevent any side effects of the treatment to the maximum extent. Malignant lymphomas rank among tumours highly sensitive to irradiation. Radiation therapy is usually recommended as an additional treatment after previous systemic therapy (chemotherapy, biological treatment). Irradiation of malignant lymphomas can be challenging because it requires dose reduction to surrounding high-risk organs, which in most cases cannot be reliably achieved with conventional radiotherapy. In the long-term, patients are threatened especially by the development of secondary malignancies and cardiovascular diseases after radiation treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdc_column gdc_chalf\">\n<div class=\"gdc_inner\">\n<p><strong>It is essential to always carefully consider the indications for irradiation.<\/strong> The need to include radiotherapy in the treatment scheme is confirmed by clinical studies. In the Czech Republic, we follow the recommendations of the Czech Lymphoma Study Group (CLSG), which reflect the latest results of those clinical studies and are updated regularly. When carrying out radiotherapy, we also follow the recommendations of ILROG (International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group). It has been confirmed by 14 studies that proton radiotherapy significantly reduces the radiation burden of high-risk organs and should therefore be considered in patients in whom it is able to significantly reduce doses to high-risk structures.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Protonov\u00e1 l\u00e9\u010dba malign\u00edch lymfom\u016f\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_camxJG2RZA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5461,"parent":5634,"menu_order":367,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-service-detail-with-anchor-sidebar.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5637","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5637"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7084,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5637\/revisions\/7084"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5634"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
