A mayo Radiation oncologist gave the speech on April 6 at the monthly meeting.
He said they had four proton machines in Rochester and were adding two more.
He personally has only used it four times. I guess he also feels that there’s not a big difference between proton and photon when it comes to prostate cancer treatment.

@jeffmarc The description of what Mayo Rochester has given by Davis was they have one proton source that can supply four treatment rooms. He said they are adding another source.
One thing that interested me about the presentation by Davis is he said Mayo Jacksonville is adding a carbon therapy facility, the first of its kind in North America. Carbon ions are said to provide a more biologically effective dose to kill cancer tissue than protons.
