MedAustron in Wiener Neustadt, south of Vienna, is a particle therapy centre offering both protons and carbon ions. Carbon ions are used for tumours more resistant to conventional radiation.
When it makes sense
- tumours close to sensitive structures, where sparing healthy tissue is essential;
- tumours resistant to conventional radiotherapy, for which carbon ions may be considered;
- recurrences in previously irradiated areas, after review by the centre’s team.
