ProCure Celebrates 13 Years of Innovation in Cancer Care
This March, ProCure Proton Therapy Center proudly commemorates its 13th anniversary, highlighting a notable journey toward enhancing cancer treatment through advanced and personalized care. Located in Somerset, New Jersey, ProCure has transformed the lives of over 7,300 patients since it launched in 2012, focusing on delivering cutting-edge proton therapy that targets cancer with precision while minimizing harm to healthy tissue.
Proton therapy is a revolutionary treatment that allows physicians to direct radiation specifically at tumor sites. This approach significantly reduces the side effects typically associated with traditional radiation therapies, which often affect surrounding healthy areas. ProCure's leadership emphasizes that such targeted treatment not only improves clinical outcomes but also allows patients to maintain engagement in their cherished activities and relationships during their treatment journey.
Dr. Brian Chon, the Medical Director of ProCure, recalls the center’s inception, stating, "When we opened our doors 13 years ago, we aimed to deliver transformative cancer care to a broad regional population, extending our support to patients from two major metropolitan areas and encompassing three states. The impact we’ve witnessed in the lives of thousands inspires all members of our team."
The testimonials from ProCure’s patients echo this philosophy, attributing their positive treatment experiences to the compassionate environment fostered by the staff. One patient, Tim, reflected on his treatment journey, saying, "From my initial consultation through the entire treatment process, the care I received was exceptional. The staff demonstrated genuine concern for my recovery, making my experience overwhelmingly positive."
Laura, a brave survivor of metastatic breast cancer, resonated with this sentiment, stating, "Throughout my time at ProCure, I felt valued as a patient. They recognized me personally and ensured I was comfortable during my treatment. Proton therapy is just one part of my healing journey, but it was approached with such care."
No matter where patients come from—whether local or international—they find a supportive setting that allows them to pursue their passions, be it professional writing, singing, or simply spending quality time with loved ones. Dr. Chon further commented, "Our goal is to ensure that undergoing treatment does not hinder our patients from seizing everyday moments. We are committed to continuing this mission for many more patients for decades to come."
ProCure Proton Therapy Center stands out as the tri-state region's inaugural proton therapy facility. Over the years, it has established itself as a leader in treating various cancers, including prostate, breast, lung, brain, head and neck, gastrointestinal cancers, sarcomas, and numerous pediatric cases. With an unwavering commitment to using the most advanced radiation techniques, ProCure ensures a personalized treatment experience that is aligned with the distinct medical needs and lifestyles of each patient, often leading to fewer side effects and less recovery time.
