Procedure for indicating patients for proton radiotherapy:

1. Consideration of the indication by the treating specialist/MDT team/patient.
2. Contacting PTC – sending personal identification + anamnesis + image documentation by ePACS (or just let our Client Service know where the examinations were performed and we will request the image documentation directly).
3. The finding will be evaluated within 2 days by a PTC radiation oncologist. Then, the indicating doctor will receive an answer immediately.
4. The patient is contacted by the treating specialist or by PTC to be invited for a consultation at PTC within 5 days.
