Maryland Proton Treatment Center

Overview

The Maryland Proton Treatment Center (MPTC) offers proton therapy – a highly advanced and precise form of radiation therapy that can increase radiation dose to tumor while decreasing dose to healthy, surrounding tissue – to the Baltimore/Washington region and beyond. The state-of-the-art facility offers the east coast’s first fully integrated system of image-guided proton therapy (IGPT) and intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT).
