Proton Therapy in a Community Hospital: Shreveport's Model with ProteusONE

Dr. Lane Rosen, Director of Radiation Oncology at Willis Knighton Cancer Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, highlights the transformative impact of introducing proton therapy with the ProteusONE system at their facility.
Historically, proton therapy was confined to the largest academic centers, but Shreveport has demonstrated that a community hospital can successfully implement such a program with proper resources and support.
Dr. Rosen explains that proton therapy is an important solution for cancer care as it can offer improved outcomes, reduced side effects, better tolerability, and potentially faster treatment courses for suitable patients.
The center has seen a rapid halo effect after launching its ProteusONE in May 2022, translated into increased referrals from both local and out-of-state sources, indicating a high demand for proton therapy.
ProteusONE's compact design and advanced features, such as its robotic couch and precise dosimetry, allow the center to treat a wide range of cancers, including some complicated brain tumors with a vertex field.
The collaboration with IBA has been pivotal. Having IBA professionals based in the cancer center brought in the expertise and support essential for successful integration and operations. As a result, the Willis Knighton Cancer Center has one of the highest uptimes of any proton therapy machine in the world and were the first to incorporate the Phillips Ambient Experience to increase patient comfort.
The introduction of proton therapy has elevated the quality of care at the center, benefiting patients and setting a model for other facilities, and IBA has been the perfect partner for that.
