During a press conference held at the Hilton Colombo Residences in Colombo, representatives of Apollo Proton Cancer Centre (APCC) the first and only Proton Therapy Centre in South Asia and the Middle East shed lights on the importance of Proton Therapy for improving outcomes of cancer treatmentand quality survivorship.

APCC, India’s first JCI accredited Cancer hospital, also revealed that the facility had recently performed a complex treatment on Sri Lankan male for a rare form of liver cancer.

Dr. Sapna Nangia, Senior Consultant, Radiation Oncology, Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, said, “I’ve seen significant advantages of proton beam therapy over traditional radiation treatments at Apollo Proton Cancer Center.”

The major advantage of proton therapy treatment is that protons slowly deposit their energy as they travel towards the cancerous tumour and deposit most of the radiation dose directly into the tumour without damaging the body further thus maintaining healthy tissues and organs without any complications.

The centre is dedicated to improving patient outcomes through research, innovation, and collaboration with other leading cancer institutions around the world.
