About Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Tharamani

Apollo Proton Cancer Centre (APCC) — inaugurated in January 2019 at Tharamani, Chennai — is South Asia and the Middle East's first and only proton therapy centre, and a landmark institution in global oncology. Built under the vision of Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, APCC represents the pinnacle of advanced cancer care in India, offering the world's most sophisticated radiation treatments. It is a dedicated 150-bed comprehensive cancer centre and India's first JCI-accredited dedicated cancer hospital, holding NABH, NABL, and IGBC Platinum certifications. At the core of APCC is the IBA Proteus®PLUS multi-room proton therapy system, which utilizes millimetre-accurate pencil beam scanning (PBS) and Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) to target tumours with minimal exit dose, sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The hospital is internationally recognized for performing India's first Total Marrow Irradiation (TMI) procedure in 2019 and was ranked #1 in India for Oncology by the Times Health Survey 2024. Using an organ-based multidisciplinary Clinical Management Team (CMT) model, APCC delivers comprehensive care spanning da Vinci Xi robotic surgery, TomoTherapy, Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), HIPEC, IBM Watson for Oncology AI support, Bone Marrow Transplants, and cellular immunotherapies like CAR-T. APCC is a global hub that has treated patients from over 147 countries.
