The first ProCure Proton Therapy Center nears completion:
Opening in Oklahoma City, OK, Summer 2009

• World record completion time: The first ProCure Proton Therapy Center is on schedule and set to open in a world record time of 27 months after groundbreaking!

• An important advance: Combining state-of-the-art proton technology with exceptional patient care, this center will be the 6th proton therapy center in the United States. The proton therapy center will provide access to a necessary treatment option that is not yet available in Oklahoma
• Superior technology for superior outcomes: The ProCure Proton Therapy Center will leverage the most innovative, proprietary FDA-approved technology
• Patient-centric approach: Our specially trained team has designed the center, support, and activities with patients’ unique needs in mind

• Highly acclaimed radiation oncology partners: Radiation Medicine Associates (RMA) and Radiation Oncology Associates (ROA)—collectively known as the Clinical Partners—have partnered with ProCure in Oklahoma City. Comprised of 7 radiation oncologists with over 70 years of combined medical experience, the Clinical Partners are leaders in the field of radiation oncology, hold many local clinical appointments and board positions, and embrace cutting-edge radiotherapy technology

• Seamless continuum of care: Physicians and hospitals will continue managing their patients, and this new treatment option will be integrated into the existing healthcare delivery system

• Meeting the needs of more patients: Unparalleled care, closer to home, so patients won’t need to travel to a distant center

Proton therapy:
Exceptional outcomes with reduced side effects

• Significantly reduces damage to healthy tissue: Proton therapy—an advanced form of radiation therapy—enables delivery of a high dose of radiation to the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissues and critical structures

• Improves quality of life: Patients experience fewer short- and long-term side effects associated with standard (photon) radiation therapy and a reduced incidence of secondary malignancies (especially important when treating pediatric patients)

• May increase radiation dose to tumor: Reduced dose to at-risk organs (ie, critical structures adjacent to the tumor) may provide opportunity to increase therapeutic dose to the tumor compared with conventional photon therapy

• Appropriate for many solid tumors: Most solid tumors, particularly those located near critical structures, can be treated with proton therapy

• Essential for select situations: The superior dose distribution of proton therapy allows treatment for patients for whom there was previously no option
  • Patients with recurrent cancers
  • Patients who can no longer tolerate other therapies

• Long-term benefits for pediatric patients: Reduced incidence of secondary malignancies and reduced risk of the neuropsychologic and intellectual deficits that occur in ~50% of children treated with photon therapy
