Let's get 2021 started on the right foot! Thank you for your trust in the past year and in the new year. The entire Proton Therapy Center team wishes you good health, happiness, personal and professional success. ✨
This is Viki from Bulgaria, who successfully completed her treatment at the Prague Proton Therapy Center. Viki bravely fought her illness and we are very happy that we were able to help another child on their way to health 😊
Viki left us a thank you note before returning to Bulgaria, which you can read by clicking on the link below.
Viki even played the drum to celebrate the end of her treatment! We wish Viki all the best 💙

#Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer 🧔♂️
Did you know that, thanks to a simple routine blood test used to determine the measurement of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) concentration in the blood, we are able to detect prostate cancer already in its early stage, at a time when it cannot be detected by any other method?

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth 💕
Breast cancer is one of the most commonly treated diagnoses at the Prague Proton Therapy Center. Breast cancer doesn't only affect women, but it can also occur in men, although much less often. Breast cancer may be treated with proton therapy, a significantly safer option compared to standard irradiation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at +44 (0) 1268 919 046 or info@ukprotontherapy.co.uk 🙂

Our doctors participated in the development of a new international study. The renowned International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics (IJROBP), published this study in August, under the direction of Dr. Yolanda Tseng of the University of Washington. The study concentrates on the results of proton therapy in relapsing/refractory lymphomas. Dr. Dědečková, who specialises in the treatment of lymphomas at the Prague Proton Therapy Center, contributed to the study with datas from patients who underwent treatment at our facility.
Due to the rapid course of lymphomas, therapy requires a more intensive treatment approach. The results of the study confirmed that thanks to the physical properties of protons, with proton therapy the radiation dose to the lungs is significantly minimised, thus reducing pulmonary toxicity and related side effects.

Risk of Pneumonitis and Outcomes After Mediastinal Proton Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory Lymphoma: A PTCOG and PCG Collaboration - PubMed
PT for relapsed/refractory lymphoma was associated with favorable rates of pneumonitis compared with historical controls. We confirm that among patients treated with PT, pneumonitis risk is associated with mean lung and lung V20 dose. These findings highlight how advancements in radiation delivery m...
