May 3, 2016, IBA -- First single-room proton cancer treatment facility in Michigan state to open in 2017.

In February 2015, construction began on the $40 million Proton Therapy Center at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. The two-story building is 25,200-square-feet, including a basement. The first floor will house the Proton Therapy Center. This 10,000-square-foot space will include a cyclotron and gantry that produces and delivers proton beams to a single-room treatment area. The first patients will be treated in the spring of 2017. The 8,000-square-foot second floor will be the future home of Beaumont Children’s Pediatric Oncology and Hematology program.

“Our IBA ProteusOne single-room treatment system will include precision technologies,” said Dr. Stevens. “Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy, which combines Pencil Beam Scanning and 3-D Cone Beam CT, can target a tumor within less than a millimeter.”
