When Hampton began building its facility, there were only three centers in the United States. Currently, there are ten centers across the nation with Hampton being the largest of its kind in the world. HUPTI features four treatment rooms including four gantry rooms and one fixed-beam room.HUPTI has treated over 1,300 patients with prostate, breast, lung, head and neck, brain, pediatric, pancreatic, and other cancers with what is considered to be the most precise form of cancer treatment to date. Proton therapy is able to target tumors with millimeter accuracy, while sparing surrounding healthy tissue and reduced side effects.At the center of the facility is a 200-ton cyclotron that spins the protons at two-thirds the speed of light, sending the resulting proton beam down a beam line. Once the accelerated proton beam reaches the treatment room, it is prepared for treatment by a 90-ton gantry. The rotating gantry positions the patient such that the beam of protons is focused directly on the tumor for a two-minute treatment interval. Patients are treated every day for one to nine weeks, depending on the tumor site."@en }
