Proton Therapy is one of the most advanced forms of radiation therapy, delivering highly targeted treatment to tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. At Apollo Cancer Centres, our experts combine cutting-edge technology with multidisciplinary care to provide personalized cancer treatment with improved precision and fewer side effects.
Proton Therapy is delivered using a highly advanced treatment system called a cyclotron, which generates and directs high-energy proton beams precisely at the tumor. Before treatment begins, detailed imaging such as CT scans and, when required, MRI scans is performed to create a three-dimensional map of the tumor. Based on these images, radiation oncologists develop a personalized treatment plan to ensure maximum precision while protecting nearby healthy tissues. Treatment is delivered in multiple outpatient sessions and is completely non-invasive and painless.
Proton Therapy is recommended for cancers where highly precise radiation delivery is essential, especially when tumors are located close to critical organs or in children. Common indications include:
Patients often experience fewer side effects, enabling a quicker return to daily activities during and after treatment.
