The IEO is Italy's first specialised cancer centre with its own Proton Therapy centre. This type of treatment completes the Institute's therapeutic offer and confirms IEO’s role as a pioneer in innovative therapies.

Situated behind the IEO 1 building and connected directly to the Division of Radiotherapy, the Proton Center guarantees the patient’s full integration with IEO’s treatment pathways, based on multidisciplinarity, excellence and taking care of the person as a whole.

Thanks to this element of uniqueness with respect to the existing structures, IEO’s Proton Therapy will contribute to the international clinical research on the application of Proton Therapy.

Proton Therapy is a highly precise form of radiotherapy which has very important clinical advantages: thanks to the physical characteristics of these particles, the protons are capable of deep action, having the greatest destructive effect on the diseased tissue.
