PROCURE CELEBRATES 13 YEARS PROVIDING A PRECISE, CUSTOM-CRAFTED RADIATION CANCER TREATMENT WITH PERSONALIZED CARE

, /PRNewswire/ -- ProCure Proton Therapy Center marks its 13th anniversary this March, celebrating a legacy of state-of-the-art technology with a patient-centered approach in cancer care. Since 2012, ProCure has helped more than 7,300 patients live their lives out loud during cancer treatments, through the power of precisely targeted proton therapy with minimal side effects.

Proton therapy enables ProCure's physicians to pinpoint radiation doses to attack cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue and minimizing side effects often associated with conventional radiation therapy. According to ProCure's leadership, that makes all the difference in the patient's ability to engage without interruption with the people and activities that matter most.

"When we opened in Central New Jersey 13 years ago, we were on a mission to deliver transformative care in a region that includes parts of two major metro areas and three states, and beyond," said ProCure Medical Director, Brian Chon, M.D. "We understood that this powerful treatment approach would have a significant regional impact, but seeing the positive effects on the lives of thousands of patients and their loved ones makes it up close and personal for everyone on our team."

Feedback from numerous ProCure patients aligns with this perspective that the human side of care is just as important as the advanced technology.

For example, recent patient Tim said, "From the moment I first went for a consultation and throughout my treatment I could not have received any more compassionate care. The staff is outstanding with a deep concern for your progress to get better. I cannot say enough great things about them."

Laura, a survivor of metastatic breast cancer, shared a similar perspective on her treatment experience at ProCure.

"You were their priority," she said. "They paid attention. They noticed you when you walked in. They acknowledged you. They said hello. Proton therapy is just one piece of my puzzle. But it was really nice."

Whether coming from the U.S. or abroad, all ProCure patients have been able to continue spending their time on activities ranging from creative passions like professional writing or singing to the simple pleasures of delighting in the company of family and friends.

"We do everything we can to make sure that being in treatment does not keep our patients from making the most of every day," Dr. Chon said. "And we look forward to doing the same for thousands more in the decades to come."
