Located in Madrid, Proton Therapy Centre Quironsalud offers advanced cancer treatment using cutting-edge proton therapy—currently recognized as one of the safest and most precise radiotherapy techniques available.
Our specialized centre harnesses the unique physical properties of protons to deliver targeted radiation with exceptional accuracy. Protons work with precision within tissue, maximizing anti-tumour activity while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This means more effective treatment with fewer side effects.
We utilize the Proteus One® system, a multifunctional proton therapy platform that combines everything needed for comprehensive tumour treatment in a single room. Our equipment features:
Trust our experienced team to provide world-class cancer care with the latest technological advantages.
Most patients fly home on day 3 or 4. Office work with a hat is fine after day 10; client-facing work most patients delay until day 14. Final result settles between months 9 and 12.
Imaging and review confirm the tumour and the case for proton therapy.
A planning CT and immobilisation devices define the treatment position.
Physicists model the proton beams to match the tumour shape and depth.
Daily sessions over several weeks deliver the planned dose.
Weekly reviews manage skin and tissue reactions and fatigue.
Scans after completion evaluate the response over the following months.
Protons deposit their dose at a controlled depth and stop, reducing radiation to tissue beyond the tumour.
No, each session is painless; side effects relate to the area treated and build gradually.
It usually runs as daily weekday sessions over several weeks, depending on the tumour.
