About 50,000 patients worldwide have benefited from proton therapy. There are currently three proton therapy centers under construction and only five centers operating in the United States, which provides about 6,000 treatment slots per year. The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and destroys tumors while greatly reducing healthy tissue damage.
ProCure is joining with hospitals and radiation oncology practices to open proton centers across the country. In addition to the Oklahoma ProCure Treatment Center, ProCure has proton therapy centers planned for South Florida, Illinois and Michigan.
