What is Proton Beam Therapy?

Proton therapy uses the unique physical property of protons (Bragg peak) to deposit maximum radiation dose directly in the tumor while sparing tissue beyond it. For prostate cancer, this means significantly lower radiation dose to the rectum and bladder compared to conventional IMRT.

Why China?

  • SPHIC (Shanghai): One of the world's most advanced proton-heavy ion centers
  • Cost: $38,000-$50,000 vs. $80,000-$150,000 in the US
  • Latest technology: Pencil-beam scanning with motion management

Who is a candidate?

  • Low-to-intermediate risk localized prostate cancer
  • Patients who prioritize bowel/bladder toxicity reduction
  • Re-irradiation of recurrent disease

Outcomes

5-year biochemical control: 90-95% for favorable-risk. Grade 3+ rectal toxicity: <1% (vs 3-5% with IMRT).
