Atlantic Health System, an integrated health care system setting standards for quality health care, and Mevion Medical Systems, the leading provider of compact single-room proton therapy systems, have announced Atlantic Health System’s plans to acquire and install a MEVION S250-FIT Proton Therapy System at the Carol G. Simon Cancer Center.
According to preliminary data from a multi-institution phase III trial led by researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center, intensity modulated proton therapy achieved similar clinical outcomes and offered significant patient benefits when compared to traditional intensity modulated radiation therapy as part of chemoradiation treatment for patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
