Cancer center and proton therapy
Integrated with the Humanitas Clinical Institute, one of the most important hospitals at international level

Construction of a new building called the 'Proton Centre' - which is functionally divided into the Proton Therapy Building ('Proton Building') and the Proton Therapy Service Building ('Proton Building') for the proton beam therapy. Proton therapy is an ultra-precise form of radiotherapy that uses proton beams. It therefore limits side effects and can be used to treat tumours in children and adults near very sensitive organs. "The project was created to offer better cancer treatment with the most advanced proton therapy technology. The clinical advantages of proton treatment are numerous, first and foremost the reduction of the risk of radiation-induced secondary cancers. The proton center will thus be able to increase the number of people who can benefit from this new technology. Proton therapy will represent an important technological investment for the community.
