FAQ

What is proton therapy for prostate cancer?

Proton beam therapy for prostate cancer is a treatment option when proton particles target cancer cells directly. Proton therapy delivers high-dose and very precise irradiation to malignant cells with minimal damage to healthy tissues.

When is proton therapy indicated for prostate cancer treatment?

Proton therapy is prescribed to treat prostate cancer in case:

  • low, intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer without remote metastases
  • to precisely irradiate pelvic nodes and the prostate gland
  • prostate cancer recurrence after radical prostatectomy
  • when irradiation of standard radiotherapy can be harmful to vital organs.
What are the benefits of proton therapy for prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer treatment with proton therapies has such advantages:

  • very precise high-dose irradiation of cancer cells in the tumor gland and surrounding tissues without harm to healthy vital organs as the rectum or bladder
  • a patient does not need an admission — it is an outpatient procedure
  • proton beam therapy is painless and causes less side effects than standard radiotherapy or chemo.
What factors affect cost of proton therapy for prostate cancer?

The proton therapy cost for prostate cancer is calculated individually for each case. The price is affected by many aspects, among them are:

  • the location of proton beam therapy center. Proton therapy hospitals are located only in a few countries in the world. In spite of the similar level of treatment, the cost of proton therapy for prostate cancer ranges in different countries due to their general price policy and a living wage of citizens. For example, cost of proton therapy for prostate cancer in the USA is 2-3 times more expensive than in Europe or South Korea, and about 5 times than in India.
  • The number of proton therapy cycles and treatment duration. Each case is individual. The treatment can last from several days to weeks — it depends on the disease stage and the patient's health condition. So, the higher amount of proton therapy cycle is required, the more expensive treatment is. Only a doctor can determine the final price of prostate cancer treatment with proton beam therapy.
