CANCER treatment company Advanced Oncotherapy was on the up after announcing another breakthrough for its proton beam therapy system.

The treatment is designed to be cheaper and more efficient than any currently available in the UK.

The firm added that work to create the first proton therapy centre, on London’s Harley Street, was on track to complete by the second half of 2020. Shares flew by 27.3pc, or 9p, to 42p.
