ZIC "Medical Karaj" has partnered with Spain's first and only proton therapy center to offer the innovative way to treat cancer.
The Proton Therapy Center is a state-of-the-art facility equipped with the latest medical technology where every detail is designed to provide patients with maximum comfort. It is a clinic for innovation and research that improves treatment outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients.
Proton therapy, like radiation therapy, uses an intense beam of concentrated energy that destroys cancer cells. However, most of the radiation is emitted inside the tumor and does not go farther into the body. In comparison, during conventional radiation therapy, all tissues in the path of the beam are irradiated.
Proton therapy is effective against certain types of tumors, in particular:
- Head and neck cancer;
- Brain and eye tumors;
- Liver cancer;
- Lung cancer;
- Breast cancer;
- Prostate cancer;
- Bone and soft tissue cancer.
Proton therapy is particularly useful for tumors that require high doses of radiation and are located near radiation-sensitive organs: brain stem, optic nerve, spinal cord. This factor is even more important for children as their organs are still developing and are more sensitive to radiation.
Proton therapy not only saves the lives of people facing cancer, it protects their quality of life!
