MADRID, SPAIN - OCTOBER 19: The President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez, speaks at the signing ceremony of the agreement with the Amancio Ortega Foundation, on 19 October, 2021 in Madrid, Spain. With this signing, a collaboration plan is launched to implement Proton Therapy in the National Health System. Proton therapy or proton therapy, being a technique of great precision, has a lower toxicity, allows to treat exclusively the tumor area without irradiating the surrounding healthy tissue and, therefore, does not produce adverse effects. It is especially indicated for the treatment of tumours that are difficult to access or close to organs at risk. (Photo By A. Perez Meca/Europa Press via Getty Images)
