Proton Therapy Center Trento

The Centro di protonterapia di Trento is a highly specialized public facility dedicated to treating tumors using sophisticated and innovative technology. Proton therapy is a precision radiation treatment that uses heavy particles — protons — to irradiate tumor cells, with the physical characteristics of proton beams allowing the dose to be released with extreme precision while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Delivering the therapy requires a particle-production device — the cyclotron — and a beam transport and delivery system. During therapy the patient is positioned on a treatment bed inside the gantry, the structure that allows the radiation to be directed by rotating 360° around the patient. The Trento Center is equipped with two treatment rooms dedicated to patients.
