Cancer Research
New Ways to Fight Cancer
We are dedicated to research and finding new ways to better fight cancer at MPTC. This is evident by our many ongoing clinical trials. Our physicians have made advancements in radiation oncology and specifically in proton therapy.
In addition to the research happening at our center, we also partner with organizations that are dedicated to cancer research.
Keep Punching
Keep Punching is a local foundation that supports patients, healthcare providers, and researchers in their fight to prevent and eradicate brain cancer and minimize treatment-related side effects that may adversely impact function and comfort. Funds raised assist brain cancer patients and families; providers who are pursuing integrative approaches to healing; and researchers who are investigating traditional and complementary cancer-related therapies.
Lodging
As the most experienced proton therapy center in the region, we often treat people who travel to MPTC from out–of–town for care. Fortunately, we’re able to make lodging one less thing patients need to worry about by assisting with securing accommodations for those patients with one of our partner organizations.
Support Groups
A cancer diagnosis is a difficult challenge to navigate. Not only are there endless questions, but there is also the emotional toll that comes along with the disease. Even with supportive family and friends, having a community of people who understand cancer, can answer your questions, and just be there for you is invaluable.
