Abstract :

Worldwide a number of 34 Photon Beam Therapy facilities are currently existing, 6 of them are designed for Eye cancer with an average building cost of 150 Million US$ per each. The globally limited capacity and long waits of cancers suffering patients is due to an old expensive proton therapy technology. Competitive Manufacturers are redefining the future of cancer treatment applying new developed technology in order to deliver a lower-cost, smaller, lighter and more energy efficient Proton Beam Therapy solutions with more clinical capabilities and advantages. Amongst these technologies are Superconducting Magnet Technology used on both Cyclotron and Treatment Gantries and Nanotechnology. The Year 2015 will see a big change in the Proton Beam Therapy Systems.
