Apollo Proton Cancer Centre at Apollo Hospitals in Chennai, India, is the first proton therapy center to be established in India and it has successfully conducted its first patient treatment. The center is equipped with the RayStation treatment planning system (TPS) from RaySearch and IBA’s Proteus®PLUS treatment delivery system in a multi-room configuration.
Apollo Hospitals, one of Asia’s foremost integrated healthcare providers, selected RayStation in early January 2018 for proton therapy at the Apollo Proton Therapy Centre. The center was recently opened, and the first patient has just been successfully treated. RaySearch has a world-leading position in proton therapy treatment planning and RayStation was chosen for its comprehensive functionality and support for all major treatment delivery systems. The agreement includes modules for deformable registration, dose tracking, adaptive therapy and multi-criteria optimization.
Dr. Preetha Reddy, Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Group, says: “Our resolute commitment has been to make cancer conquerable and Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in India, equipped with South East Asia’s very first proton therapy treatment system, reaffirms our promise to patients. With a 25-year legacy in advanced cancer care and having been honored with trust from millions of patients, Apollo Hospitals is now set to create a new dawn in the management of cancer. The high-quality user experience and cutting edge features of RayStation made it an obvious choice for Apollo Proton Cancer Centre.”
