• Radiation oncology and proton therapy experts from the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute in Jacksonville are in Japan this week to make presentations at the annual meeting of the Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group, the world’s leading proton therapy scientists, physicians and researchers. The Jacksonville institute opened in 2006 and treats cancer patients with proton therapy, a form of radiation that destroys cancerous tumors while preventing damage to healthy, normal body tissue and organs.
