Proton Therapy UK

Proton Therapy UK We’ve been serving the British community since 2012, before proton therapy became widely available

The Proton Therapy Center (PTC) located in Prague, Czech Republic, offers the most advanced and accurate form of radiotherapy currently available. Proton beam therapy, using pencil beam scanning, allows for a precise dose to be delivered to highly complicated target volumes while sparing nearby critical organs and healthy tissue. Since first opening in 2012, we have treated over 6,000 patients from 50 countries, who have travelled to Prague for its high-quality treatment. We understand that travelling for treatment can be a daunting prospect and we aim to provide the highest quality of care and assistance to our patients.

Each patient treated at The Proton Therapy Center has their own treatment coordinator.

Their work includes not only creating radiation therapy schedules 📅 and confirming appointments with patients by phone but also handling changes and arranging additional visits. 🔄

At the same time, they are responsible for the efficient organisation of all treatment rooms, ensuring that patient care runs smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

Our coordinators guide patients through what is often a challenging period. We thank them for their patience, human approach, and the tremendous amount of work they do every day. We are grateful to have them on our team. ❤️

Although Movember is over, men should stay aware of their health all year round. When it comes to the prostate, here are some basic facts about this small but important organ:

🔵 PROSTATE CANCER IS NOT JUST “AN OLD MAN’S DISEASE” Cases are rising even among men under 50 – especially when the disease runs in the family. 👨‍🦱👨‍🧔

🔵 NOT EVERY PROSTATE CANCER REQUIRES IMMEDIATE TREATMENT Some tumours grow very slowly and are simply monitored. This so-called active surveillance can last for several years. ⏳👨‍⚕️

🔵 AN ENLARGED PROSTATE ≠ CANCER In older men, benign prostatic hyperplasia is common. It’s a non-cancerous enlargement that can still cause urinary symptoms. 🚻💧

How to Support Your Well-Being During Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatment can place a strain on both body and mind. Sometimes, small daily steps can help you feel more grounded and supported.

🛌 REST WELL Allow your body time to recover. Even a short afternoon nap or a gentle walk can make a positive difference.

🥗 LIGHT, BALANCED MEALS Eat regularly and choose foods that are easy to digest. If you’ve been advised to follow a specific diet, always follow the guidance of your doctor or nutrition therapist.

🤗 SUPPORT FROM OTHERS Don’t hesitate to reach out to family and friends. A shared moment, a listening ear, or a simple daily chat can provide comfort and strength.

Every small step matters.

Did you know that November is not only linked with Movember, but is also dedicated to raising awareness of lung and mouth cancer?

At the Proton Therapy Center in Prague, we treat both conditions. Mouth cancer, in particular, is one of the most common types of tumours in the head and neck area, and proton therapy can offer significant benefits by precisely targeting the tumour while reducing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Every year since 2003 – and here in the UK since 2007 – November is recognised as Men’s Health Awareness Month. The symbol of the month is the moustache, promoting an important mission that we proudly support: increasing early detection of prostate cancer, which can lead to less intensive treatment and better outcomes.

Our team of doctors published an exceptional case in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Medicine. The study describes a patient with a**l ca**l carcinoma who developed severe complications from radiation therapy as late as 26 years after treatment. This case underscores the importance of modern methods such as proton therapy, which protects healthy tissue and reduces the risk of late adverse effects.
