For your information, over $2 Billion has been spent or planned for existing sites or to build new Proton facilities at many US sites including:<\/p>\n
Philadelphia, U of PA \u201cRoberts Proton Therapy Center\u201d\tOver $200mil\t\tFunded 2009
\nHampton University\t\t\tOver $192mil Funded 2009

\nTouro University, Mare Island CA. 1,200,000,000.00\t\tPlanned<\/p>\n
Existing and operating Proton facilities (USA only – over 20 others exist worldwide) at a total cost of over $650mil:

Even though outcomes for the proton treatment equal or better any other approach with reduced side effects, all of these operating centers are spending millions on research and technical advances to expand the capability of the Proton.
\nAmazing is the fact that many men are still choosing to undergo invasive \u201cRadical Prostatectomy\u201d, invasive \u201cBrachytherapy\u201d or \u201cX-ray Photon\u201d procedures that damage non-targeted tissue. <\/p>\n
Some day, this must change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
