Proton therapy systems
This online database contains almost two thousand categories of medical devices designed for various fields of medicine. In this section, everyone can find proton therapy systems. For better convenience, all the devices in this website, as well as proton therapy systems, have informative descriptions with photos and specifications.
Proton therapy, also called proton beam therapy, uses a beam of protons in order to illuminate unhealthy tissue, usually for cancer treatment. Proton therapy provides minimal exit dose over a narrow range and because of that, proton therapy has a huge advantage over other types of radiotherapies. Proton therapy uses a method which painlessly delivers radiation through the skin.
Proton therapy provides ionizing radiation and during procedure medical personnel use a particle accelerator to find and target a tumor with a beam of protons. DNA cells are damaged, ultimately killed or their reproduction is stopped of these charged particles help. Cancerous cells have a high rate of division and have reduced ability to repair DNA damage so they are vulnerable to attacks. Higher energy, typically in eV or electron volts have to be produced in order to treat tumors at greater depths.
Proton therapy can be effective in treating different kinds of tumors as tumors of the prostate, brain, head and neck, central nervous system, lung, and gastrointestinal system.
Proton therapy advantages:
• Reduces overall toxicity
• Delivers to the tumor the optimal radiation dose
• Quality of life and after treatment is improved
• Provides minimal exit dose
• Reduces the probability of short/long-term side effects
• Increases the survival rates
• Can treat recurrent tumors
