Nationwide Children’s Hospital and The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute opened a $100 million, 55,000 square foot proton therapy center. It is the first treatment facility in central Ohio offering this highly targeted form of radiation therapy for treatment of complex tumors that cannot be removed through surgery.
Luca Valle, assistant professor of radiation oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, was awarded a $2.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to develop new methods to better understand the clinical scope and biological factors that lead to prostate cancer coming back after radiation therapy.
