New form of proton therapy for cancer starts trial in Jerusalem
P-Cure, an Israeli company, has developed a new form of proton therapy for cancer treatment. The therapy, which uses high-energy beams of protons, is known for its precise targeting of tumors. However, the large size and high cost of proton therapy machines have limited its adoption. P-Cures solution, developed in collaboration with Hadassah Medical Center, involves a moving chair that allows for pinpointed treatment from 360 degrees. The smaller size of P-Cures system makes it more accessible for hospitals. Hadassah Medical Center has started a clinical trial for the Israeli-made proton therapy. The trial aims to improve patients chances of effective treatment and reduce toxicity. The trial is expected to address the obstacle of limited space for proton therapy installations in hospitals.
