Mission

Innovating for life since 1986, IBA has become the global leader in proton therapy, considered the most advanced and accurate form of radiotherapy for cancer treatments using ionizing rays. Thanks to the unique properties of protons, tumors can be targeted more accurately while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. We provide two types of therapy centers: IBA’s Proteus®PLUS, offering a multi-room solution, and the Proteus®ONE, a more compact single-room solution that is easier to install, integrate, and operate. To date, over 58 world-renowned medical institutions have built a Particle Therapy Center with IBA across 3 continents.

Proton Therapy

Proton Therapy - a more targeted treatment

Proton Therapy is considered the most advanced currently available therapy and a valuable treatment modality for thousands of adults and children who are diagnosed with cancer. Proton Therapy aims to destroy cancer cells by delivering proton beams to a target tumor. Protons release their energy within the tumor target area while limiting the radiation to the surrounding healthy tissues.
