Why is McLaren Bringing This Revolutionary Treatment to Michigan?

Posted Date: 3/7/2013

Proton beam therapy has been called “the next great leap forward in radiation oncology” and “the most technologically-advanced method of treating solid, non-metastasized tumors.” For many patients, proton therapy offers them hope for the first time. Yet, due to cost and complexity, it has remained a rare treatment option, with only eleven proton beam therapy centers in the United States.

McLaren will improve those treatment options for patients in Michigan and surrounding areas by opening the first…and only…Proton Therapy Center in Michigan.

McLaren chose to make the $70 million investment in this technology after intense research and investigation into the value of treatment for patients. This research led to a partnership with ProTom International, a Texas-based health care technology company which has developed the latest generation of proton therapy. Called the Radiance 330, this advanced technology offers even better clinical outcomes. McLaren Proton Therapy Center is the first facility in the world with this specialized functionality.
