Proton Therapy Centre Quironsalud
Proton Therapy Centre Quironsalud
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.
Treatment Approach
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.
State-of-the-Art Technology
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:
- Advanced tumour scanning technology for optimal dosage planning
- 220-degree rotational capability to deliver proton beams from any angle
- Cutting-edge imaging systems for precise treatment guidance

Every line item. No hidden fees.
Stay & travel
From inquiry to your 12-month review
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.
Diagnosis and planning
Imaging and review confirm the tumour and the case for proton therapy.
Simulation and mapping
A planning CT and immobilisation devices define the treatment position.
Plan preparation
Physicists model the proton beams to match the tumour shape and depth.
Treatment cycles
Daily sessions over several weeks deliver the planned dose.
Rest and monitoring
Weekly reviews manage skin and tissue reactions and fatigue.
Follow-up imaging
Scans after completion evaluate the response over the following months.
The questions you'd ask a friend who'd already done it
How is proton therapy different from standard radiotherapy?
Protons deposit their dose at a controlled depth and stop, reducing radiation to tissue beyond the tumour.
Is the treatment painful?
No, each session is painless; side effects relate to the area treated and build gradually.
How long is the course?
It usually runs as daily weekday sessions over several weeks, depending on the tumour.
