1 SCHEDULE 2 THE SERVICES A. Service Specificatins Service Specificatin N. Service Cmmissiner Lead Prvider Lead Prtn Beam Therapy Prgramme Fina Marley, Head f Highly Specialised Cmmissining Perid 1 st April st March 2019 Date f Review Octber Ppulatin Needs 1.1 Natinal/lcal cntext and evidence base Prtn Beam Therapy (PBT) prvides radiatin by delivering a beam f prtn particles, rather than by external beam raditherapy (EBRT) using X-Rays. PBT facilitates the safe use f cntrlled dses f inising radiatin t treat peple wh have cancer with the aim f delivering as high a dse f radiatin as pssible t the cancer whilst sparing the surrunding nrmal tissues. A phenmenn knwn as the Bragg Peak means that almst n radiatin dse is depsited in the nrmal tissue beynd the tumur. This is in cntrast t X-rays where there is dse extensin beynd the tumur, reducing as the beam diverges and attenuates PBT can be used alne r as part f a multi-mdality treatment regime with surgery and /r chemtherapy. PBT is cmplex and requires an understanding f the principles f medical physics, radibilgy, radiatin safety, dsimetry, radiatin treatment planning, simulatin and interactin f radiatin with ther treatment mdalities PBT is a treatment that is given with curative intent. Its use can reduce sme acute txicity and mre significantly can reduce the lng term permanent side effects f treatment and imprve the chances f maintaining quality f life. PBT can als be used as part f a dse escalatin strategy t increase tumur cntrl, by sparing critical structures. It is typically delivered t patients every weekday, ver a number f weeks, depending n the tumur site. Mst patients are treated n an utpatient basis. 1.2 Prtn Overseas Prgramme Prtn beam therapy has been ffered t all clinically apprpriate patients in England since 2008 thrugh the NHS Prtn Beam Prgramme. NHS England will cntinue t d s in line with agreed clinical plicies fr the duratin specified. 1

2 1.3 NHS Prtn Beam Therapy Service In 2009, planning began n the develpment f an NHS Prtn Beam Therapy service. Tw PBT centres have been cmmissined by the Department f Health and NHS England at The Christie NHS Fundatin Trust in Manchester and University Cllege Lndn Hspitals NHS Fundatin Trust in Lndn It is anticipated that when the NHS service starts it will still be necessary fr sme patients requiring PBT t cntinue t be sent fr treatment abrad. This is t allw the NHS service t increase its clinical expertise and capacity in a safe and cntrlled manner. 2.
