In the ever-evolving landscape of cancer treatment, can the future of cancer care be shaped by proton arc therapy with DynamicARC^®*?  ​

Proton Arc Therapy with DynamicARC* is on the verge of transforming the landscape of proton therapy and cancer care. In this blog, Xuanfeng (Leo) Ding, PhD, the Lead Proton Physicist at Corewell Health’s William Beaumont University Hospital Proton Therapy Center, explains how DynamicARC* will revolutionize the proton therapy field with its advanced capabilities, representing the next leap forward in cancer treatment technology. 

As cancer treatment with proton therapy is stepping forward into the new era of proton arc therapy (PAT), exciting advancements are on the horizon: IBA together with its clinical partner, Corewell Health’s William Beaumont University Hospital Proton Therapy Center, and industrial partners, Elekta, RaySearch Laboratories and IBA Dosimetry, have taken a significant step for arc proton therapy, moving forward to demonstrate the technical feasibility of DynamicARC* and its ecosystem using the ProteusONE system. These recent tests provide the proof that the unequaled advantages of DynamicARC are within technical reach and bring this innovative treatment approach even closer to Proteus users, enabling a new level of precision and effectiveness to treat cancer patients with proton therapy. In this blog, Dr Rohan Deraniyagala, Medical Director, and Dr. Xuangfeng (Leo) Ding, Lead Proton Physicist, share their excitement for the DynamicARC feasibility and accuracy delivery tests, and its future use for many patient candidates on the ProteusONE system. 

DynamicARC promises to revolutionize proton therapy by providing faster, sharper and simpler treatments to enhance patient care. In this blog, Dr. Rohan Deraniyagala, Medical Director at William Beaumont Hospital, part of the Corewell Health System, explains the advantages of this innovative technology, highlighting its ability to provide quicker treatments as a primary benefit for cancer patients. Patients undergoing proton therapy with DynamicARC can find themselves on the treatment table for less time, which is a critical factor in their overall experience and comfort.^1,2 The faster treatment may also result in increased efficiency, allowing hospitals to accommodate a higher throughput of patients, making a real difference in cancer care accessibility.³
