The Quirónsalud Proton Therapy Center is the first of its kind in Spain, both in public and private healthcare. The Center is equipped with cutting-edge medical technology to offer treatment of the highest quality and precision, and where everything is designed in detail to offer the highest level of comfort and convenience during their treatment. In addition, it is a space for innovation and research that contributes with its projects to improving the results of cancer treatments and the quality of life of patients.
Proton therapy uses beams of high-energy accelerated protons, which are directed with pinpoint precision against the tumor, where they deposit most of their energy. This concentrated release of energy on the tumor minimizes the dose to surrounding tissues and reduces the risk of secondary tumor development. Somewhat critical in young and pediatric patients.
On December 26, 2019, Quirónsalud treated the first patient in Spain with proton therapy at its Madrid Proton Therapy Center. This is a historic advance in the fight against cancer given that it is the first time in our country that a patient has received this innovative external radiotherapy treatment, which represents an advanced, safe and effective alternative in the fight against different types of tumours.
