The New York Proton Center has initiated three FLASH radiation therapy mouse model studies that will examine the use of FLASH RT to improve treatment of lung, pelvic, and abdominal tumors. NYPC researchers are conducting the studies in partnership with oncologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center, and Mount Sinai Health System.
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.
