Since opening in 2019, Apollo Proton Cancer Centre (APCC), the first Proton Therapy Centre in South Asia and the Middle East, has made significant progress by increasing access to the most cutting-edge radiation therapy for cancer patients all around the world. Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is an area in which APCC has demonstrated exceptional proficiency and great therapeutic results. At APCC, proton beam therapy has been administered to more than a thousand patients.

They announced an exclusive agreement with Ion Beam Applications SA (IBA), a leading producer of cutting-edge advanced proton therapy systems, in keeping with their mission to inspire positive change throughout the world. This partnership, which will go into effect on July 15, 2023, is significant because it unites two well-known figures to offer oncologists from all over the world specialized Proton Beam Therapy training.

For a variety of malignancies, proton beam therapy has proven to be a highly effective and precise radiation therapy. This cutting-edge therapy makes use of protons to target tumors while causing the least amount of harm to adjacent healthy tissues. With its highly skilled and knowledgeable staff, the Apollo Proton Cancer Centre has been at the forefront of utilizing this cutting-edge technology to provide better outcomes and enhanced quality of life for cancer patients.

Through a cutting-edge training and education program, the APCC and IBA hope to enhance knowledge in proton therapy for the benefit of cancer patients and to aid in the advancement of cancer care.

The center will hold educational initiatives aimed at advancing the skills of oncologists from various backgrounds. The goal is to encourage collaboration and knowledge exchange to fuel greater innovation in cancer treatment across the globe by having participants share their in-depth expertise and experiences.
