Based on global experience and long-term results in treated patients, it is clear that proton-treated patients have a significantly higher quality of life than those who have undergone standard photon therapy.
Undesired exposure of the heart, lungs and spinal cord may occur during the radiation treatment of breast cancer. These organs are very sensitive to radiation and their damage may have serious side effects. Thanks to the proton beam and the significant reduction of unwanted irradiation of healthy tissues and organs, we can significantly reduce the risk of a heart attack and other heart complications or the development of pulmonary fibrosis.
It is apparent that the proton beam irradiates only the target volume (the area where the tumour was located), i.e. the radiation is targeted almost exclusively to the affected tissue. On the contrary, photon radiation, owing to its physical properties, significantly affects also the surrounding area of the healthy structure.
