 I'm Nicholas Denonzio. I am the Director of Proton Therapy for the Hack and Security and Health Network. Proton therapy is a more precise form of radiation therapy that allows us to still target a tumor within a patient while depositing less dose to areas surrounding the tumor. That can translate into fewer side effects for patients and overall better quality of life during and following treatment. Proton therapy requires a very different set of equipment for delivery than traditional photon-based or x-ray-based radiation that is available in most radiation centers around the country. Special facilities or parts of facilities have to be constructed to be able to deliver or provide proton therapy to patients. In the case of Hack and Stack Meridian Health, we have developed a joint venture with the Procure Proton Therapy Center, which is a freestanding proton center in Somerset, New Jersey to avail us of having the ability to treat patients at a facility that is already very experienced and well-established in treating with proton therapy. Given the proton therapy training that I received during fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, that allows me to bring an additional treatment modality to an already wide variety of offerings for radiation therapy at the John Thurr Cancer Center and throughout the Hack and Stack Meridian Health Network.
