Historically, you�d have to [spend] $200 million for a four-room center that takes up the size of a football field. Now, hospitals can buy a single-room system for about $30 million in their current space.� [/quote]

Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 3,267 Likes: 4 | A single institution, except a top CCC, just to stay on top of the competition, probably wouldn't even want or can't afford to invest 30 million into technology. One top hospital, forget which one, is building two centers! What places are also doing, like the Top CCC in NYC such as MSKCC, NYU, NY Presybetrtian, Mt. Sinai, Continuum Health Care (Beth Israel), and Montifiore, joined together and formed NY Proton Therapy Group, which joined up with ProCure Proton Center in Somerset, NJ, to use the proton center there with their own radiation oncologist's. This group is also building a large center in NYC, site was changed from West 57th street to the East side, 1st Ave, around 120th street, which didn't break ground yet.
