The RINECKER PROTON THERAPY CENTER (RPTC) located in Munich is the first European proton radiation center for outpatient treatment of tumors to offer a complete hospital setting. Established by Munich-based surgeon Dr. Hans Rinecker, Ph.D., the long-term goal is to set up additional facilities in other cities and countries.

The RPTC has been in clinical operation since March 2009 and is designed to treat up to 4000 patients annually. It is available to patients with statutory or private health insurance.

The facility is CE-certified and officially approved by the Bavarian Environment Agency [Landesamt für Umwelt] for health care. It is approved to irradiate all tumors previously treated with X-ray radiation as well as according to international proton therapy regimens. “Research” or “experiments” are not conducted at the RINECKER PROTON THERAPY CENTER!
