Proton Therapy UK

Proton Therapy UK We’ve been serving the British community since 2012, before proton therapy became widely available

The Proton Therapy Center (PTC) located in Prague, Czech Republic, offers the most advanced and accurate form of radiotherapy currently available. Proton beam therapy, using pencil beam scanning, allows for a precise dose to be delivered to highly complicated target volumes while sparing nearby critical organs and healthy tissue. Since first opening in 2012, we have treated over 6,000 patients from 50 countries, who have travelled to Prague for its high-quality treatment. We understand that travelling for treatment can be a daunting prospect and we aim to provide the highest quality of care and assistance to our patients.

📅 March the 4th is known as International HPV Awareness Day.

⚠️ Human papillomavirus (HPV) has many subtypes, and several of them are directly linked to various types of cancer, including cervical, a**l, and head and neck cancers. Of the latter, the incidence of tonsil cancer has been increasing rapidly in recent years, with HPV 16 confirmed in many patients.

Cancer affects not only the body, but often the mind as well. Anxiety, sadness, fear, or long-term exhaustion are common during treatment and are not signs of weakness or failure.

🔵 Psychological difficulties can occur at different stages of the disease. They are more common, for example, in cancers affecting the central nervous system, where the illness itself may directly influence emotions, memory, or behaviour.

🔵 A higher risk of anxiety and depression is also associated with certain hormonally active tumours, such as thyroid cancer. The demanding nature of treatment, long-term fatigue, pain, and uncertainty about the course of the illness can also play a significant role.

If psychological difficulties persist and begin to affect sleep, appetite, or daily functioning, it’s important to speak to your doctor about them. 🗣️

In December 2025, a study published in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet revealed findings that could influence the future treatment of head and neck cancers. The international research, led by MD Anderson Cancer Center 🏥, showed that proton therapy not only delivers improved outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal cancer 📈, but also significantly enhances quality of life.

In clinical practice, patients treated with proton therapy demonstrated higher survival rates five years after treatment. 📊 The therapy was also associated with fewer swallowing difficulties, reduced dry mouth, and a lower reliance on feeding tubes. In addition, proton therapy offers better protection of healthy tissue and places less strain on the body. 🎯

Experts expect these results may contribute to future updates in international treatment guidelines 📘, with proton therapy becoming a standard option for selected ENT cancers.

On World Cancer Day, we highlight the importance of modern, precise cancer treatment that puts patients first.

🔵 Proton therapy is one of the most advanced forms of radiotherapy available today. Thanks to its high precision, it allows doctors to target tumours more accurately while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. This can mean fewer side effects, better tolerance of treatment, and an improved quality of life during and after therapy.

🔬 Proton therapy is particularly beneficial for tumours located near critical organs, as well as for head and neck cancers, paediatric patients, and other complex diagnoses where precision truly matters.

🌍 On this day, we stand with patients, families, and healthcare professionals around the world — supporting innovation, early diagnosis, and access to the most advanced treatment options available.

Each patient treated at The Proton Therapy Center has their own treatment coordinator.

Their work includes not only creating radiation therapy schedules 📅 and confirming appointments with patients by phone but also handling changes and arranging additional visits. 🔄

At the same time, they are responsible for the efficient organisation of all treatment rooms, ensuring that patient care runs smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

Our coordinators guide patients through what is often a challenging period. We thank them for their patience, human approach, and the tremendous amount of work they do every day. We are grateful to have them on our team. ❤️

Although Movember is over, men should stay aware of their health all year round. When it comes to the prostate, here are some basic facts about this small but important organ:

🔵 PROSTATE CANCER IS NOT JUST “AN OLD MAN’S DISEASE” Cases are rising even among men under 50 – especially when the disease runs in the family. 👨‍🦱👨‍🧔

🔵 NOT EVERY PROSTATE CANCER REQUIRES IMMEDIATE TREATMENT Some tumours grow very slowly and are simply monitored. This so-called active surveillance can last for several years. ⏳👨‍⚕️

🔵 AN ENLARGED PROSTATE ≠ CANCER In older men, benign prostatic hyperplasia is common. It’s a non-cancerous enlargement that can still cause urinary symptoms. 🚻💧

How to Support Your Well-Being During Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatment can place a strain on both body and mind. Sometimes, small daily steps can help you feel more grounded and supported.

🛌 REST WELL Allow your body time to recover. Even a short afternoon nap or a gentle walk can make a positive difference.

🥗 LIGHT, BALANCED MEALS Eat regularly and choose foods that are easy to digest. If you’ve been advised to follow a specific diet, always follow the guidance of your doctor or nutrition therapist.

🤗 SUPPORT FROM OTHERS Don’t hesitate to reach out to family and friends. A shared moment, a listening ear, or a simple daily chat can provide comfort and strength.

Every small step matters.

Did you know that November is not only linked with Movember, but is also dedicated to raising awareness of lung and mouth cancer?

At the Proton Therapy Center in Prague, we treat both conditions. Mouth cancer, in particular, is one of the most common types of tumours in the head and neck area, and proton therapy can offer significant benefits by precisely targeting the tumour while reducing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
