Universal Treatment of Choice for Prostate Cancer

Posted by Jim Tuggey on November 10th, 2013 — Posted in General

One UK Surgeon says: “Proton beam will be the universal treatment of choice for prostate cancer in ten-year’s time”. [BOB tales for October 2013]

Despite regular attacks, Bob Marckini notes that “we represent about two-thirds of the men alive who have had proton therapy for their prostate cancer.”

Well, November again and I’m personally happy to be here in the USA and know that the “Proton” was the answer for me in 1999.

I count thirteen Proton centers in the latest BOB report. You may be surprised at locations for some of them i.e.:

  • McLaren Proton Therapy Center, Flint MI
  • Rinecker Proton Therapy Center. Munich Germany
  • National CancerCenter/Proton Beam Therapy Center. Seoul, Korea.
  • ProCure Proton Therapy Centers in Warrenville, IL., Oklahoma City, Seattle WA, Somerset, NJ

Great to have smart people join the Proton team.
