How can we improve the environmental impact of cancer care in the growing context of climate change and worldwide ecological issues?
 

In proton therapy, the design of the system significantly influences key beam parameters, and can have a direct impact on patient care. Thus, it is important to understand beam quality's role in radiotherapy and cancer treatment.​

In the ever-evolving landscape of cancer treatment, how can cancer centers ensure they provide the most advanced proton therapy treatment and highest-quality patient care?

What is the point of view of a medical physicist on the versatility of ProteusONE? In this article, Xuanfeng (Leo) Ding, PhD, the Lead Proton Physicist at Corewell Health’s William Beaumont University Hospital Proton Therapy Center, emphasizes the groundbreaking versatility of the IBA ProteusONE system. In his opinion, the IBA ProteusONE system stands out as the world’s first versatile proton therapy system, used to treat a wide range of cancer sites.  

When considering the best positioning for proton therapy, the debate between supine and upright methods has gained traction in recent years. In this article, you will discover a radiation oncologist’s point of view in this debate, explained by Dr. Arie Dosoretz, radiation oncologist and managing partner for Advocate Radiation Oncology and Southwest Florida Proton in Fort Myers, Florida. 

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  

DynamicARC* represents a pivotal breakthrough in radiation therapy and in cancer treatment. In this blog, Dr. Craig Stevens, Professor and Chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology at William Beaumont Hospital, part of the Corewell Health System, emphasizes to what extent DynamicARC is key to the future of radiation therapy with protons, enabling a paradigm shift in cancer treatment.
