We invite you to watch the popular science film titled: "Proton Therapy at the Bronowice Cyclotron Center IFJ PAN – History and Treatment Process." Proton therapy is currently one of the most advanced and precise techniques of teletherapy using ionizing radiation. Using proton beams in radiotherapy offers new possibilities in the fight against cancer.
 Since 2011, over 1400 patients have undergone proton therapy at IFJ PAN, and this number continues to grow.
 The following film presents key information related to proton therapy conducted at the CCB IFJ PAN, including statements from doctors regarding patient qualification (both children and adults) and the process of preparing patients for proton beam therapy.
 In 2023, patients with diagnosed mediastinal cancers, mainly Hodgkin's lymphoma, joined the group of patients treated with proton beams at CCB IFJ PAN. A challenge in treating such conditions is that the irradiated area shifts due to the patient's respiratory movements. The use of a dedicated optical system allows for the localization of the cancerous lesion based on tracking the motion of the patient's body surface. This increases the precision and safety of the ongoing therapy.

 


The film was created as part of the project titled "Image-guided proton therapy for irradiating tumors in moving organs. " carried out under the "Science for Society" program.
