På vores Twitter profil, @DCCC_RT, udgiver vi i maj måned løbende facts, som omhandler protonterapi. Følg med på siden her for at få et overblik over alle vores facts om emnet.

Fact #1

Fact #2

DCPT started treating patients in January 2019. So far, 148 patients have been treated.

Fact #3

The proton beam deposits most of the energy, i.e. damages the cells, in a very specific point depending on the energy of the protons.

This is illustrated by the so-called Bragg peak in a graph of radiation dose in a specific depth in the tissue.

Fact #4

Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is the ratio of the doses required by two radiations to cause the same level of effect. In January, we had an interview with a PhD student who uses RBE in her project.

Fact #5

Fact #6

This fact is about avoiding side effects - one of DCCC Radiotherapy's values. More research - Better treatment - Less unwanted side effects.

Fact #7

Fact #8

In the review article "Particle therapy in Europe", the basic concepts of particle therapy are reviewed along with a presentation of the current clinical indications, the European clinical research, and the established networks. Read the article here: https://llk.dk/fppamy
