Our center uses Varian ProBeam to deliver intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT). ProBeam has a full gantry, which does not require repositioning of the patient midway during treatment unlike other partial gantry systems. Our gantry-mounted imaging system allows for imaging from many different angles compared to other systems using wall-mounted imaging systems. Advanced techniques such as deep inspiratory breath-hold and stereotactic proton radiosurgery are available.
As of January 2024, short course treatments for tumours such as prostate cancer cost around USD$27,000. Longer course treatments such as those for chordomas cost around $55,000.
Importantly, we are more than happy to discuss the price for patients who are residents in low to middle income countries (LMIC) as part of corporate social responsibility. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] for more information.

Proton therapy, also known as proton radiotherapy, is a type of radiation therapy to treat cancer and noncancerous tumours. Instead of using X-rays such as traditional radiation therapy, proton therapy uses energy from positively charged particles known as protons to send beams of high energy to the tumors. It is newer, advanced, and highly precise so it causes less radiation to surrounding healthy tissue. However, it cannot treat every type of cancer.
Most people can resume their normal activities straight after the procedure, including returning to work and exercise. However, you can rest for the day if you feel the need to since radiation therapy can make you feel drained of energy.
The success rate for proton therapy depends on your condition and the time you get the therapy, the earlier you get treatment the higher the success rate is. In general, proton therapy has an 82% success rate. There are some side effects and risks that come with the procedure, including sore skin, hair loss in the treatment area, fatigue, headaches, as well as eating, mouth, and digestion problems.
