These organs are very sensitive to radiation and their damage may have serious side effects. Thanks to the proton beam and the significant reduction of unwanted irradiation of healthy tissues and organs, we can significantly reduce the risk of a&nbsp;heart attack and other heart complications or the development of pulmonary fibrosis.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #ea879c;\">\u2e3a<\/span><\/h5>\n<h4>The diagram shows the radiation dose distribution in the body when using proton vs. photon therapies.<\/h4>\n<p>It is apparent that the proton beam irradiates only the target volume (the area where the tumour was located), i.e. the radiation is targeted almost exclusively to the affected tissue. On the contrary, photon radiation, owing to its physical properties, significantly affects also the surrounding area of the healthy structure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gdc_row\">\n<div class=\"gdc_column gdc_chalf\">\n<div class=\"gdc_inner\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PxF-_PRSY-_proton-_EN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PxF-_PRSY-_proton-_EN.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PxF-_PRSY-_proton-_EN-250x300.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdc_column gdc_chalf\">\n<div class=\"gdc_inner\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PxF-_PRSY-_foton-_EN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PxF-_PRSY-_foton-_EN.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ptc.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PxF-_PRSY-_foton-_EN-250x300.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADVANTAGES OF PROTON THERAPY IN BREAST RADIATION TREATMENT COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL RADIOTHERAPY: Almost no dose to the heart (if the left breast is affected).
