Cancer Treatment with Proton Therapy
Proton Therapy is the treatment method that destroys cancer cells by using an accelerated high energy proton which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. The accelerated proton beam passes through body tissues and transfers most of their energy to cancer tissues and subsequently stops to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure to normal tissues.
Types of cancer can be treated with proton therapy:
- Lung
- Liver
- Brain tumor
- Head & neck
Brain Tumor Center
Latest treatment methods:
- Intraoperative navigation systems
- Neuro-endoscopic surgery
- Mobile computed tomography (CT)
- Brain tumor fluorescent staining (5-aminolevulinic acid)
- Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring
- Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), Image-guidedradiation therapy (IGRT), and Gamma Knife radiosurgery
Breast Cancer Center
Latest treatment methods:
- Oncoplastic breast surgery
- Personalized treatment (cancer scan, AVATAR mouse)
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy (radioisostope, biopigment,fluorescent dye)
- Application of state-of-the-art chemotherapy and other anti-cancer therapies (targeted therapy Herceptin)
- Multinational clinical trials
Colorectal Cancer Center
Latest treatment methods:
- Minimally invasive surgery (conventional, single-port,Robotic surgery)

Gastric Cancer Center
Latest treatment methods:
Surgery is the most fundamental treatment and performed inthe form of laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery, and roboticsurgery.

- Partial excision to optimize preservation of function and quality of life
- Concomitant reconstructive plastic surgery using free flaps
- Precise excision and reconstruction using 3D printing technology
- Treatment of lymphatic metastases through sentinel lymph node biopsy and excision
Pediatric Cancer (patients up to 18 years old)
Latest treatment methods:
- Allogeneic or Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
- Chemo Therapy
- Targeted Therapy
- Proton Therapy
- Radiation Therapy
- Surgery
Liver Cancer Center
Latest treatment methods:
Along with hepatectomy, liver transplantation, radiofrequency thermal ablation, chemoembolizationof the hepatic artery, chemotherapy (targeted therapy), radiosurgery, and radiation therapy, the Liver Cancer Center has now begun to offer liver cancer cryotherapy.
Lung and Esophageal Cancer Center
Latest treatment methods:
Interventional bronchoscopy, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy (3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy; 3DCRT),intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) tomotherapy, bodystereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT), proton therapy).
Uncommon Cancer Center
Latest treatment methods:
The primary treatment for NETs is radical resection. Depending on individual conditions, it is combined with targeted therapies and chemotherapies using octreotide, lanreotide, pasireotide, interfereon-α, everolimus, and sunitinib. In case of liver metastasis, transcathter arterial chemoembolization or radiation therapies may be considered. Recently, the latest drugs are also adopted to treat NETs as part of clinical trials.
