ProCure’s first-ever patient graduate, Frank Mackinson, who was treated for a plasmacytoma of the skull base, adds, “They raise the bar tremendously as far as care and personalization goes. Since I’ve completed treatment at ProCure, it has been a joy to return to this pleasant facility and supportive community.”

Best-in-class treatment and services


ProCure New Jersey is the only proton therapy center in the metro NY/NJ area equipped with pencil beam scanning (PBS) – the most advanced proton therapy technology available today. The technique moves a proton beam of pencil-point sharpness back and forth across each layer of a tumor's thickness and paints the tumor with radiation in three dimensions, rendering it ultra-precise and ideal for tumors located next to critical organs, such as those in the prostate, lungs, brain, head and neck, among others. PBS is also effective for pediatric cancers, where sparing healthy tissue is especially important for healthy development. ProCure's PBS technology expands the center's ability to treat difficult and complicated tumors, and is reflective of its commitment to continually advance cancer treatment options.

Over the past five years, ProCure has also worked closely with patients and their families to create tailor-made treatment plans that address each patient’s unique needs. The range of support available to patients extends from traditional care and pushing technological boundaries to insurance and financial counselors, a special pediatric playroom for patients and children of patients, and a concierge program to address personal needs like local accommodations.

“In the five years that ProCure’s been around, what’s struck me the most – in addition to our scientific capabilities – was how we’ve elevated patient needs and comfort as paramount values,” states Brian Chon, MD, treating oncologist and Medical Director of the Center. “The team goes above and beyond to make each person who walks through our doors feel like an individual — not just a cancer patient, not just an anonymous case file. It’s simply in the fabric of our culture.”

Dr. Chon continues, “We’re proud to have brought the unique properties of proton therapy to a diverse group of tumor types and cancer patients over these last five years. We will use this milestone to reflect on where we’ve been, how far we’ve come, and how we will work tirelessly to help our patients and the cancer community in the future.”
