Prof. Zelig Tochner Tells How To Install Proton Therapy in Existing Radiation Linac Vaults

Tuesday, August 30, 2022

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Despite the proven and potential clinical benefits of proton therapy, this treatment is currently available to very few patients. The reasons are primarily economic. Until now, the equipment size required its own dedicated building. Combining construction and heavy equipment cost severely limited the potential for cost-effective operation and ROI in a reasonable period. Previously, the dimension of proton therapy equipment – accelerator, beam delivery, treatment planning and delivery room -- did not allow for integration of the equipment within existing radiotherapy practice facilities. Because of the constraints of legacy equipment and design, combined with the substantial cost to develop, build and operate a stand-alone proton center, the expansion of proton treatment to existing radiotherapy centers, and to physician-owned centers, has been extremely limited.

Key Points: 
  • Despite all of the above, due to the clinical benefits demonstrated since 1954, proton therapy has become a significant tool to fight cancer with radiation.
  • Proton therapy can now be centered in an existing linac vault.
  • To do so, there are five requirements to allow healthcare provider to integrate proton therapy into an operating radiotherapy department, while eliminating the barriers of installing and operating existing legacy proton therapy systems.
  • A Professor Emeritus and the former medical director of the Roberts Proton Therapy Center at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, one of the world's largest proton therapy facilities.
