Proton therapy offers a revolutionary approach to cancer treatment, distinguished by its precision and effectiveness.

The Technology

Mevion transformed radiation oncology by inventing compact proton therapy - shrinking the equipment footprint and the operational and financial costs significantly while still delivering a powerful cancer-fighting tool.

Now, with Mevion, more comprehensive health systems (and even private practices) can deliver superior proton therapy as an extension of their traditional radiation therapy treatment offering.

The advantage of proton therapy comes from a phenomenon known as the Bragg Peak. Unlike photons, protons can be charged to reach the exact depth where a tumor is located, then stop. Very little proton radiation continues past the tumor site.

  • Proton Dose Delivery Advantages
  • Equivalent or Better Target Coverage
  • Protons Deliver 1/3 - 2/3 Less Dose to Healthy Tissue than X-rays
  • Sharp Radiation Dose Fall-off
  • Proton Potential Benefits
  • Escalation of Target Dose to Increase Cure Potential
  • Reduction of Short and Mid-term Toxicities
  • Reduction in Secondary Malignancy **
  • Reduction of Treatment Duration
  • Treat tumors close to critical organs –eye, spinal cord
  • More safely & effectively combined with chemotherapy & surgery
