ProCure NJ is the only center to offer Pencil Beam Scanning ("PBS") in the New York metro area. PBS is the most advanced form of proton therapy which utilizes an ultra-narrow proton beam that deposits radiation dose more precisely within a tumor. It allows physicians to precisely "paint" the tumor with radiation, minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissue and reducing the risk of side effects.
"It has always been our mission to make proton therapy accessible to as many patients as possible," said Dr. Brian Chon, medical director at ProCure NJ. "Our clinical affiliation with Northwell Health allows us to share access to this cutting-edge treatment and takes us another step closer to continuing and fulfilling our mission."
