Diagnostic tests may cost around €250-400, a specialist consultation is around €565, and a full proton therapy treatment course is around €73,000. All planning and treatment is supervised by Dr. Carme Ares, who has 31 years of experience and trained at Johns Hopkins.

Proton Therapy Treatment

The primary treatment is advanced proton beam radiation. It is delivered using the Proteus One® system. This machine has a 220-degree rotation for precise angles.

The treatment plan is highly personalized. Doctors use 3D reconstruction of the tumor. Each patient receives an individual treatment strategy.

The full proton therapy course costs around €73,000. It is an outpatient treatment, meaning no hospital stay is required. The package covers all medical and logistical needs.

It is difficult enaugh to face a desease which leaves you with the need of a radiotherapy. Apart from, that the protone-therapy has less side-effects than the traditional radiotherapy, the whole team from doctors, nurses, to technicians made it more easy to suffer through. They always were very empathic and supportive, so you felt taken care of in the most difficult moments, when you perhaps thought of giving up. The place itself has a positive energy , thanks to the persons working there.Thank you again for all your help and support :-)) Honestly, I wonder, why Antonio Ads (Local guide) only gave you a 4 star evaluation. Having really lived the experience, I would love to give 10 stars, but only 5 are available in Google

They are FANTASTIC...we arrived from Irún to the big city, alone, with a fright in our body because of everything that happened with our son Uraitz....and we met a small family that welcomed us with open arms. We feel at home!!! The entrance to the center already made your treatment day happy...they are great, kind, close, attentive and delicate with patients and families. We arrived scared and returned home... with a very good memory because they are WONDERFUL PROFESSIONALS. We will be eternally grateful and will always remember all of them. A billion thanks to everyone, thank you for being there, your work is magnificent....You are literally THE RAY OF LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM.🥰

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for the love, dedication, and support you have shown us throughout this journey. We arrived with fear and uncertainty, but from day one, you made us feel supported and in the best hands. Every smile, every word of encouragement, and every gesture of tenderness toward our little one has made this process a little more bearable. You have not only been exceptional professionals, but also a refuge of humanity and warmth during difficult times. We take with us much more than a treatment; we take with us the memories of wonderful people who have left an indelible mark on our family. Thank you for your dedication and for caring so lovingly for those who need it most. NEO AND JÚNIOR

We started treatment on May 6th, 33 sessions, a month and a half. We were thinking, "How scary!" The welcome was super pleasant, and even before we arrived, the phone calls with Ana were pleasant, informing us of any questions or concerns we had. But if we talk about how the sessions went, of course it's long and hard, but it's bearable because the whole group is there, supporting you with that love, empathy, and sweetness, giving encouragement with a pat on the shoulder. There are no words to thank the entire group who collaborated in helping us overcome this difficult time that life has imposed on us. For all of this, THANK YOU A MILLION
