With 5 dedicated treatment rooms, the center has the capacity to treat about 2,500 patients each year. 3 of these treatment rooms have movable devices that are capable of 360-degree rotation around patients. This means tumours can be treated anywhere in the body, from any angle, up to a depth of 32cm. One of the rooms offers "fixed beam" treatments, while the final room is specially designed for eye treatments.
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology to precisely plan and conduct proton therapy procedures, the medical facility aims to provide all our patients with the highest level of treatment effectiveness, as well as the highest standard of comfort and patient care.

The patients suffering from prostate cancer can undergo all the necessary urologic diagnostic tests within the center. The experienced and highly competent urologists carry out fiducial marker insertion procedures prior to proton therapy.
All treatment procedures comply with the strictest international requirements, while all patients are provided with the highest standards of service and care.
The medical facility employs only highly professional experts who have long clinical experience in a particular medical field. In addition, the center maintains close cooperation with the leading Czech universities and other educational institutions supporting science and research with the aim to contribute to the development of radiation oncology and other oncological specializations.

Location
Prague is the capital and the largest city of the Czech Republic, as well as one of the most beautiful and romantic places in Europe. The city is located on the banks of the Vltava River, which divides it into two parts. The river is crossed by more than 10 bridges, the most famous of which is the Charles Bridge. The Gothic-style pedestrian bridge is decorated with ancient sculptures, and its image is one of the symbols of Prague.
The capital of the Czech Republic is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List for the abundance of various sights. Here one can enjoy the architecture of various styles – Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance, Classicism and Art Nouveau.
The symbol of the city is Prague Castle, which was founded in 1320 and initially called the "Royal Palace". This is the largest preserved medieval castles in the world, as well as the great pride of Prague.

The favorite tourist destination is Petřín Hill – the highest of the nine hills on which Prague stands.
