September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Known as a silent killer because men often do not have symptoms in early stages, prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer other than skin cancer among men in the United States and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men. All prostate cancer patients at Texas Center for Proton Therapy receive the benefit of pencil-beam proton therapy – an ultra-fine proton beam that applies the radiation to the targeted areas while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue near the prostate.

Personalized targeted cancer treatment, also known as "adaptive proton therapy," is truly a game-changer in cancer care. By customizing each session to the patient’s evolving condition, we significantly enhance precision and effectiveness, ensuring that radiation is directed exactly where it’s needed while protecting healthy tissue. This innovative approach not only improves outcomes but also allows us to adapt to changes in tumor size, shape, and position over time. In a field where every millimeter counts, adaptive therapy is the future of personalized cancer care, providing patients with the most effective treatment and minimal side effects. At P-Cure, we're proud to be leading the charge in this groundbreaking innovation. #protontherapy #adaptivetherapy P-Cure Ltd Hadassah Medical Center Israel Ministry of Finance - משרד האוצר Israel Innovation Authority https://lnkd.in/dVHjXXM6 #CancerTreatment #ProtonTherapy #AdaptiveTherapy #PCure #InnovationInHealthcare

Patients often ask us to compare photon therapy to proton therapy. Here is our newest blog that covers this topic: https://lnkd.in/gXgd_eVg If you'd like more information, please visit us at TexasRadiotherapy.com Dr. Matthew Cavey #FortWorth #RadiationOncology

This week, I explored the fascinating world of Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT), an innovative form of radiotherapy that holds potential in cancer treatment. The scientific principles and investment trends are detailed in my latest article, "The Science Behind TAT: Precision, Power, and Promise."

Great insights from Chandan Guha on the integrated organ immunity and immunological effectiveness of carbon ion therapy and its connection to normal tissue toxicity and immunomodulation. 📈 Compared to X-rays, carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) induces a stronger type 1 interferon response, enhances antigen presentation, and promotes TCR diversity. 🧬Notably, CIRT downregulates Notch signaling and induces a distinct secretome, which may explain its unique immunological effects beyond its relative biological effectiveness (RBE). #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #CarbonIonTherapy #RadiationOncology #TCRDiversity

Unlock the Future of Proton Therapy: Don’t Miss This ASTRO 2024 Panel 🎤 Proton therapy is transforming cancer treatment, but expanding access and ensuring its sustainability remain key challenges. How do we scale this life-saving technology and close the gaps in access? Join industry experts at "The Future of Particle Therapy: Strategies to Ensure Sustainability & Access" on September 29, 2024.

Caron (Latham & Watkins) with share best practices on building partnerships, including contractual alignment. Participate in a live Q&A and engage with those shaping the future of proton therapy. Don’t miss this chance to contribute—join us on September 29, 2024, in Washington, D.C hosted by Latham & Watkins. RSVP to secure your spot: https://lnkd.in/gq7sxArp

So is it just a chair? Absolutely not. We believe this is the future of radiotherapy, allowing for treatment in a more natural, upright position. This approach aims to provide greater comfort, enables direct patient-therapist communication, and streamlines the treatment process for better efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, it has just received 510(k) regulatory clearance in the US, opening doors for potential advancements in cancer treatments such as FLASH RT, BNCT, Carbon Ion Therapy, and Ultra-Compact Proton therapy. This 'chair' represents a more human way of treating with radiation therapy. 🌟 #Radiotherapy #Uprightradiotherapy #Innovation #Healthcare #Patientcare #Medicaltechnology
