Proton therapy: the frontier of precision radiotherapy
Proton therapy is one of the most advanced technologies in cancer radiotherapy today. Compared with conventional radiotherapy, proton beams can focus on the tumor site with far greater precision, maximizing damage to cancer cells while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissue. It is especially suitable for pediatric tumors, head-and-neck tumors and tumors near critical organs.
Jiahui Hospital introduces the ProBeam system
The ProBeam proton therapy system introduced by Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital is manufactured by Philips Healthcare and features a 360-degree rotating gantry with sub-millimeter positioning accuracy, representing the international frontier of proton therapy equipment. The system is expected to enter clinical use in the second quarter of 2026.
Cost advantage of proton therapy
For Russian patients, receiving proton therapy in China costs approximately 40%-50% less than in Europe or the United States. Jiahui International Hospital provides full Russian-language medical support, so from initial assessment and treatment planning to accompaniment throughout treatment, there are no language barriers.
Who is suitable for proton therapy
Proton therapy is especially suited to: pediatric cancer patients (where protecting surrounding tissue is critical); head-and-neck tumor patients; patients with tumors near vital organs such as the eyes, brain stem or spinal cord; and cancer patients who wish to reduce the long-term side effects of radiotherapy.
