Offering the most advanced form of cancer treatment needs to be more affordable. Millions of patients worldwide could benefit from Proton Therapy, an effective, noninvasive treatment that destroys malignant cells with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues. Proton Therapy helps patients achieve improved health and quality of life.
While there are currently a limited number of Proton Therapy centers in operation worldwide, the large size and extensive construction needed to build these centers make the investment prohibitive for many private practices and academic institutions. To overcome those concerns, IBA now offers an alternative: the Proteus Nano.
IBA recently introduced the Proteus Nano, a two-room Proton Therapy solution that provides a smaller footprint and lower cost. The Proteus Nano utilizes IBA’s innovative Vbeam® technology, making Proton Therapy truly accessible today for medical professionals and their patients.
The Proteus Nano enables the construction of smaller Proton Therapy centers, which can make this lifesaving treatment available more quickly to more people.
Proteus Nano Configurations
One of the Proteus Nano treatment rooms is a fixed-beam room, providing treatment primarily for patients with head and neck cancers.
The other is a gantry treatment room, which allows the proton beam to be delivered to the patient from multiple directions and is used primarily in pediatric and complex cases.
