It provides proton therapy, a highly precise form of radiation treatment that targets tumors with millimeter accuracy, aiming to spare healthy tissue and reduce treatment-related side effects. It is the largest facility of its kind globally. It treats a range of cancers, including prostate, brain, pediatric cancers, head and neck, breast, lung, pancreatic, and other cancers. The institute serves patients seeking advanced, targeted cancer therapy and related support services.
