Chordoma Treatment in Proton Therapy Centre Quironsalud
About the clinic
Proton therapy for chordoma is available at the Quirónsalud Proton Therapy Centre in Madrid, Spain. Diagnostics and a 5-session therapy package may cost around €12,000-14,000, while a full 70-80 day treatment typically runs €65,000-75,000. The clinic is Spain's first proton therapy center, led by Dr. Raúl Matute with 23 years of experience in radiation oncology.
This specialized center focuses on proton beam therapy using the Proteus One® system. This advanced system delivers radiation with a beam that can rotate 220 degrees. This precise targeting is crucial for treating complex tumors near the spine or skull. It aims to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Diagnostic and Treatment Process
The clinic provides a comprehensive diagnostic plan. All treatment packages include essential imaging. Patients receive:
- Planning MRI to map the tumor precisely.
- CT scans throughout the treatment for accuracy.
- A review by a multidisciplinary oncological concilium (tumor board).
A PET scan is an additional diagnostic option not included in the standard packages. Dr. Raúl Matute oversees the treatment. He has performed over 1,100 proton therapy procedures. His extensive expertise guides the personalized therapy plan.
Available Proton Therapy Options
The clinic offers two main treatment courses tailored to the tumor's needs:
- Short-course proton therapy. This involves about 5 treatment sessions. It is typically an outpatient procedure. The package cost is around €12,000-14,000.
- Full-course proton therapy. This is a more extensive regimen lasting 70-80 days. It is designed for complex cases requiring prolonged treatment. The cost for this course is typically around €65,000-75,000.
Both options include the planning MRI and all necessary CT scans during therapy. The clinic holds JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation, ensuring high standards of care. For specific pricing and to determine the most suitable treatment plan, a consultation with the medical team is recommended.
