Proven Results

The MEVION S250 helped RWJUH expand its collaboration with other world-class medical centers. The hospital receives patients from sister NCI centers, such as the Yale Cancer Center, and treats them with proton therapy. The RWJUH proton therapy center currently treats 15 - 20 patients per day in an 8 hour shift, delivering efficient clinical workflow in as fast as 10 minutes for a two-field image-guided radiation treatment.
