"Groundbreaking Cancer Treatments: Unveiling Promising Therapies and Targeting Undruggable Proteins"

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and Nationwide Children's Hospital have opened a Proton Therapy Center, offering a "game changer" cancer treatment that minimizes damage to healthy cells and organs. The $100 million facility provides proton therapy for adults and children battling cancer, allowing patients in central Ohio to receive treatment closer to home. Proton therapy is especially important for pediatric patients, as it tailors radiation to the tumor's shape and reduces exposure to normal organs. The center also focuses on researching and developing other advanced treatments.
