Proton center in South Korea selects RayStation and RayCare

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) is pleased to announce that Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center (DSMC) in South Korea has selected the treatment planning system RayStation^®* and oncology information system RayCare^®* to enable advanced cancer treatment at its new proton center. Installation is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2028, with first patient treatments expected by the end of 2029.

DSMC's Comprehensive Cancer Center is at the forefront of patient-centered cancer care and will be the first top-tier general hospital in South Korea to introduce the ProTom Radiance 330 proton therapy system. This development will make DSMC the country's third proton center, after the National Cancer Center and Samsung Medical Center, and the first located outside a metropolitan area, broadening access to cutting-edge cancer treatment for patients in the region.

By combining RayStation and RayCare, the center will integrate treatment planning and oncology information management into one workflow, including advanced functionalities such as synchrotron-based proton pencil beam scanning therapy. This technique allows for highly precise radiation delivery while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. It is particularly effective for cancers in sensitive areas such as the head and neck, spinal cord, and in pediatric patients, helping reduce side effects and improve patients' quality of life.

CHI-HEUM CHO, President, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center: "We are pleased to introduce RayStation and RayCare at the new proton therapy center at Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center. These advanced systems will enable the establishment of a more precise and efficient cancer treatment framework, setting new standards for oncology care that are competitive not only within Korea but also on a global scale."

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch: "South Korea is an exciting market with some of the world's most advanced radiation therapy facilities, and we see strong interest in RayStation and RayCare in the region. We are honored by the trust placed in us by DSMC and look forward to continued collaboration with their organization."
