@colleenyoung, I hope you can answer a question for me. As I research possible treatments for localized intermediate (favorable) PC, I am leaning toward one of three options (Brachytherapy, Cyberknife, or Proton Beam). However, after searching the website, I am unable to determine if all three treatments are available in Jacksonville. Can you clarify if each of these are available at the Florida campus?
Thank you

@sooner65, sorry for the late response. Proton beam therapy is not yet available at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Mayo Clinic's proton beam facility at the Jacksonville campus is currently under construction. The Jacksonville, Florida proton beam facility will open in 2026.

If proton beam therapy is recommended by Mayo experts, then the team can work with University of Florida department or Florida patients can choose to have proton beam therapy at the Rochester, Minnesota campus.

Brachytherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery (cyberknife) is available at all 3 Mayo Clinic locations I believe. I would call Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville to confirm 904-953-0853
