dc.description.abstractCancer is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Spain; the most common types of cancer are colon and rectum, breast, lung and prostate. Cancer treatment depends largely on the type, location and stage of the tumour, but in most cases includes radiotherapy (RT), surgery and/or chemotherapy. RT aims to destroy cancer cells with ionising radiation (photons and electrons, mainly) while sparing the surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible. In recent decades, RT treatments have been optimised by the advances in imaging technologies and the use of hadrons (carbon ions and protons), which have improved tumour control and reduced the toxicity associated with the treatments. Proton therapy (PT) uses proton radiation to treat tumours, offering dosimetric advantages over conventional photon RT. Protons have the potential to reduce the damage to healthy tissue, being especially useful in paediatric tumours and tumours close to organs at risk. There are currently two private PT centres in Spain, and there are plans to incorporate another eleven units in public centres in the near future.
