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.​

Dr. Lane Rosen, Director of Radiation Oncology at Willis Knighton Cancer Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, highlights the transformative impact of introducing proton therapy with the ProteusONE system at their facility. In this blog, he shares insights into how a community hospital can successfully implement proton therapy, traditionally reserved for larger academic centers. 

Proton therapy represents a significant advancement in radiation oncology. In this article, Dr. Craig Stevens, Chair of Radiation Oncology at Corewell Health’s William Beaumont University Hospital Proton Therapy Center, discusses the evolution and benefits of their ProteusONE system installed in 2017.
