“Five protocols for proton therapy”

Protocol 1: Treatment Planning

Prior to treatment, a detailed 3D model of the tumor is created. This allows the radiation oncologist to plan the dose of radiation that will be delivered to the tumor while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue.

Protocol 2: Patient Setup and Treatment Delivery

Once the patient is in position, a robotic arm delivers the proton beam to the tumor. The patient remains still throughout the treatment, which typically lasts just a few minutes.

Protocol 3: Beam Range and Shielding

The range and intensity of the proton beam can be adjusted depending on the size and location of the tumor. In addition, special shielding can be used to protect sensitive organs near the tumor site.

Protocol 4: Quality Assurance and Imaging

Before the patient leaves, imaging equipment checks to make sure that the treatment was delivered correctly and did not affect any previously uninvolved tissue.

Protocol 5: Patient Care and Recovery

Oftentimes, patients can resume their normal activities after just a few days of rest. If necessary, ongoing supportive care such as physical therapy is provided until the effects of radiation are gone. [ARTICLE END]

The Department of Radiation Oncology at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center specializes in treating adults with all forms of cancer using proton therapy, or proton radiation. Proton therapy has been used for more than 50 years to deliver targeted, precise doses of radiation to tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

There are five protocols that are used in conjunction with proton therapy in order to ensure the best possible treatment for each individual patient. These protocols are: treatment planning, patient setup and treatment delivery, beam range and shielding, quality assurance and imaging, and patient care and recovery.

Each of these protocols is important in ensuring that the patient receives the most accurate and effective treatment possible. Treatment planning allows the radiation oncologist to create a detailed 3D model of the tumor, which helps to ensure that the proton beam is delivered to the tumor site while avoiding healthy tissue. Patient setup and treatment delivery is performed using a robotic arm, which ensures that the patient remains still throughout the patient remain still during treatment. The beam range and shielding can be adjusted depending on the size and location of the tumor, while quality assurance and imaging checks to make sure that the treatment was delivered correctly. Finally, patient care and recovery include rest and supportive care until the effects of radiation have dissipated.

If you or a loved one is considering proton therapy, it is important to understand all of the protocols that are involved with this type of treatment.

proton beam radiation -  Radiation therapy is a form of cancer treatment where cancer cells are destroyed using high-energy X-rays or particles such as protons. It is a painless and non-invasive local treatment which damages the DNA of the cancer cells and leads to death of the cancer cells in the area irradiated. It is usually given from a machine outside the body (called external-beam radiation therapy). It is one among the pillars of cancer treatment (others being surgery, chemotherapy, precision oncology, immunotherapy) which has been used for more than a century.

To learn more about how Proton Therapy is

There are many ways that proton therapy is better than conventional radiation therapy. Some of the key benefits include:

• Proton therapy can be more precise than traditional radiation therapy, meaning that it can target tumors more accurately and cause less damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

• Proton therapy is a “contact” therapy, which means that the protons stop once they hit the tumor, delivering all their energy directly to the cancer cells. This results in less radiation exposure for healthy tissue around the tumor and reduced side effects.

• Proton therapy can be used for tumors located near sensitive structures in the body, such as the brain, eyes, and spinal cord. Conventional radiation therapy cannot be used for these types of cancers because the radiation can pass through these structures and cause serious damage.

• Many proton therapy centers are designed to be multidisciplinary cancer treatment centers, allowing your doctor to coordinate your entire care team, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

• Since proton therapy delivers all its energy at once for a “contact” therapy, it can also be used in combination with other treatment types like surgery or chemotherapy. This allows doctors to use more than one type of treatment on their patients. Conventional therapies tend to be limited by this approach since they cannot deliver high doses at the tumor site without causing severe side effects throughout the body due to toxicity.

The Apollo Proton Cancer Centre introduced Proton Therapy for the first time in India with the expertise of a Multi-Disciplinary Cancer Management Teams and an organ-specific practice. It is also the first and only Proton Centre in South Asia and the Middle East.

Proton therapy is a radiation therapy that uses tiny particles called protons. Protons are excellent cell killers, but because of the way protons deliver their energy, proton therapy does not damage as much healthy tissue as much as photon therapy. Therefore, a higher dose of radiation can be targeted at the tumour without affecting many normal healthy cells.
