Our Expert Clarifies: Why Proton Therapy is NOT Just Regular Radiation 💡

You’re researching cancer treatments and seeing the term ‘Radiation Therapy’ everywhere. But you need to know the facts!

As our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. J.W. Snider, explains in this exclusive clip from the , understanding the difference between conventional radiation and Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is key to preserving your quality of life.

PBT’s unique ability to stop at the tumour is a key difference, allowing us to actively protect vital healthy structures—like your swallowing muscles during head and neck treatment.

At Proton International London, we protect what matters.

The Radiation Difference That Could Change Your Treatment

If you or a loved one are exploring cancer treatments, this is the one question you must ask your oncologist:

What is the difference?

Traditional Photon Radiation (X-Rays): Photons enter the body, hit the tumour, and then keep going, exiting the body and depositing a small dose of radiation in the healthy organs and tissue on the other side. This is called the “exit dose.”

Proton Beam Therapy (PBT): Protons are physical particles that can be precisely controlled. Using a phenomenon called the Bragg Peak, the beam delivers its maximum, tumour-killing energy and then stops completely—eliminating the exit dose entirely.

The Bottom Line (Why Precision Matters):
* For Cancers Near Critical Structures: PBT is crucial for tumours near the heart, spine, brain, or eyes, where avoiding the exit dose can drastically reduce long-term side effects.
* For Re-Treatment: Allows doctors to safely re-treat a recurrent tumour by minimising the total lifetime radiation dose to surrounding tissue.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but we’re shifting the narrative... Awareness Isn’t Enough. It’s time for Action.

The fight against breast cancer for patients and healthcare providers internationally is ongoing, but protecting your future starts with you.

Action 1: Check Yourself. A few minutes check a month can save a life. It’s time to take action and check your breasts regularly, not just for October.

Action 2: Protect Your Future. If treatment is needed, choosing a treatment that can empower your long-term health is essential. Proton Beam Therapy treatment targets breast cancer tissue with precision, actively working to reduce damage to your heart, lungs, and surrounding healthy tissues.

At Proton International London, our advanced care team take action to protect your future so you can focus on living it. But the action starts with you.

Learn more about treatment that prioritises your total health. Not just your breast health.

We know cancer treatment is about eliminating disease, but what if your treatment could also protect your long-term health and quality of life?

That’s the core of a treatment that protects the whole of you, and it’s why the precision of Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is a game-changer.

Traditional radiation (photons/X-rays) is powerful, but it deposits an “exit dose” as it leaves the body, exposing surrounding healthy tissue and organs to unnecessary radiation. Over time, this can lead to an increased risk of long-term side effects like heart or lung complications, or secondary cancers.

Proton Beam Therapy offers a different path:
* Precision Targeting: PBT uses a unique physical property (The Bragg Peak) to deliver its maximum dose directly to the tumour site and then stop completely.
* Organ Preservation: This means we can significantly reduce the radiation exposure to vital healthy organs—like the heart, lungs, and spinal cord—that are near the tumour.
* Protecting Tomorrow: By minimising collateral damage, PBT helps protect your future, potentially reducing the risk of treatment-related complications and supporting your ability to live a full, active life after treatment.

At Proton International London, we believe in treatment that is both powerful and protective. As the UK’s only private proton beam therapy centre, we combine this world-leading technology with a team of globally recognised cancer specialists, focused on delivering care that treats the cancer while safeguarding your well-being.

💙 Prostate Cancer Awareness Month💙

Rory’s prostate cancer journey with Proton International London is a powerful reminder of what the right treatment can mean:

“I came for proton beam for prostate cancer ending on 31.05.24. Yesterday I got the first PSA blood test check up results after the treatment and …. 0.35…. Dr Lester says ‘thats it nothing more to do, enjoy my life’. Just a simple PSA check every 6 months to make sure it stays low like that. What this means is that every single person at Proton International who touched my case got it 100% absolutely correct. Fantastic. Thank you so much.”

🙏 Thank you Rory for sharing your story and trusting us with your care.

👉 Men, this month is your reminder: get checked, talk about prostate health, and know your options.
