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.​

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.  

The University of Kansas Cancer Center has significantly enhanced patient care and institutional growth by integrating proton therapy into their treatment options. As a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, they recognized the need for advanced particle beam treatments for the diverse patient population they serve, particularly for their pediatric cancer patients. Darin Kistler, Senior Director of Radiation Services, describes the center's evolution since installing the ProteusONE proton therapy system in 2017.
