# Event Details - **Event Name**: Proton Beam Therapy: How the Large Hadron Collider Cures Cancer - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: A lecture by Simon Jolly, Professor of Visceral Physics, University College London, https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/32241-simon-jollyAbout this EventModern cancer treatment is largely a combination of 4 techniques — surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy — each of which has associated advantages and drawbacks. Conventional radiotherapy utilises targeted beams of X-rays to maximise the destructive radiation dose to cancerous tumours within the body whilst minimising the dose to the surrounding healthy tissue. Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is a more effective alternative to conventional radiotherapy, where high energy protons (60-250 MeV) are used in place of X-rays. The advantage of PBT is a consequence of the markedly different dose deposition profile of protons: as a result of the Bragg Peak most of the energy is deposited in the last few millimetres of the proton path. This allows a precise tuning of the delivered dose through appropriate selection of the proton beam energy and leads to much lower doses of radiation outside the target volume. This has particular significance in the treatment of deep-lying tumours in the head, neck and central nervous system, particularly for children whose bodies are still developing and are particularly susceptible to long-term radiation damage.This talk will discuss the rationale behind PBT and the accelerator technology needed to provide high precision beams of protons that was first developed for particle physics. The NHS PBT facilities will also be presented, along with the technology employed for treating patients, as well as a look at what the future might hold for particle therapy and its role in cancer treatment. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/proton-beam-therapy-how-the-large-hadron-collider-cures-cancer/100001979860814994 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fproton-beam-therapy-how-the-large-hadron-collider-cures-cancer-tickets-1979860814994 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Christopher Ingold Building - **lat**: 51.5253737 - **long**: -0.1321722 - **full address**: Christopher Ingold Building, 20 Gordon Street, London, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: SCI London Regional Group (https://allevents.in/org/sci-london-regional-group/22845096) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Proton+Beam+Therapy%3A+How+the+Large+Hadron+Collider+Cures+Cancer&date=Tue%2C+03+Mar%2C+2026+at+05%3A00+pm&bg=5 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/banners/uploads/default_thumb_square.png ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Christopher Ingold Building, 20 Gordon Street, London, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** SCI London Regional Group - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** nonprofit - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Proton Beam Therapy: How the Large Hadron Collider Cures Cancer ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Proton Beam Therapy: How the Large Hadron Collider Cures Cancer", "image": "https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Proton+Beam+Therapy%3A+How+the+Large+Hadron+Collider+Cures+Cancer&date=Tue%2C+03+Mar%2C+2026+at+05%3A00+pm&bg=5", "startDate": "2026-03-03", "endDate": "2026-03-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/proton-beam-therapy-how-the-large-hadron-collider-cures-cancer/100001979860814994", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Christopher Ingold Building", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "20 Gordon Street", "postalCode": "WC1H 0AJ", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.5253737", "longitude": "-0.1321722" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A lecture by Simon Jolly, Professor of Visceral Physics, University College London, https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/32241-simon-jolly", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-03", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/proton-beam-therapy-how-the-large-hadron-collider-cures-cancer/100001979860814994" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/proton-beam-therapy-how-the-large-hadron-collider-cures-cancer/100001979860814994", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "SCI London Regional Group", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/sci-london-regional-group/22845096" } ] } ] ```
