PROJECT OF THE PROTON OCULAR RADIOTHERAPY AT IFJ
Eye melanoma
- malignant tumor
- proton therapy allows to save the eye
globe and the useful vision- survival 95%
-Clinic of Ophthalmology and Ophthalmic Oncology in Krakow treats 95% of ocular melanoma cases in Poland
-Currently: surgery, laser, Ru-106 and I-125 brachytherapy
- 150 new patients per year

Installation of gantry for patient treatment
Gantry is rotating arm able to move the proton beam around the patient
Gantry allows for radiotherapy in arbitrary localization
Very good conformation of dose
The application for the installing gantry will be submitted

Summary of proton radiotherapy
1. Eye melanoma proton radiotherapy starts at IFJ Krakow in May 2009. 60 MeV proton beam will be delivered by AIC-144 cyclotron. Cooperation with Clinic of Ophthalmology and Centre of Oncology
2. The project National Centre for Hadron Radiotherapy Phase 1 has been approved. 230-250 MeV cyclotron will be purchased, new cyclotron bunker and experimental hall will be constructed, eye treatment moved
3. The funds for the gantry have to be generated
