United Kingdom Proton Therapy Market (Actual & Potential), Patients Treated, List Of Proton Therapy Centers And Forecast To 2022

The UK is lagging behind many other countries that have built proton beam therapies in their hospitals over the last few years. The UK has only one proton beam therapy facility, a small unit at the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, which can deliver treatment to patients with eye cancers such as choroidal melanoma.

The UK is lagging behind many other countries that have built proton beam therapies in their hospitals over the last few years. The UK has only one proton beam therapy facility, a small unit at the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, which can deliver treatment to patients with eye cancers such as choroidal melanoma. However, the scenario is likely to change during the forecasting period as 6 proton therapy centers are expected to be operational by 2018/2019. Among the six proton therapy centers currently in development phase 4 centers are being equipped with IBA ProteusONE. While, Varian Medical Systems has been selected to equip and service two new national proton therapy centers in the UK.
