Proton Therapy Worldwide
As of today, about 55'000 patients around the world have been treated with protons and heavier charged particles at 28 treatment centers.
There are currently 10 hospital-based proton therapy centers in operation around the world and 15 more are being built or are near completion.
There are a number of suggestions for setting up such centers in all industrialized countries, so we can assume that proton therapy will be widespread in the future.
The following lists show sites and projects which are in clinical operation, in construction or planned.
