The Center of Excellence for proton RT of malignant lymphomas is led by MUDr. Kateřina Dědečková, leading expert for this type of treatment in the Czech Republic.

MUDr. Kateřina Dědečková

In 1998-2001 Dr Dědečková worked at the radiotherapy department of the District Hospital in Jičín.

Since 2019, Dr Dědečková also leads the interdisciplinary Center of Excellence for Proton Radiotherapy of Malignant Lymphomas at the Proton Center in Prague.

Dr Dědečková specializes in radiation treatment of malignant lymphomas and other hematological tumors, urological tumors and head and neck tumors. She has participated in international clinical trials with independent quality control of radiotherapy (GHSG, ESTRO Equal, QARC) in the treatment of malignant lymphomas and head and neck tumors. Dr Dědečková is a member of the Council of the International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group (ILROG) and a member of the Lymphoma Sub-Committee of the Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group (PTCOG).
