Warrenville, IL – It has been nearly a year since any construction has taken place at the site of an NIU affiliated proton cancer treatment center in DuPage County. Things are much different, however, at the site of its nearby rival. ProCure Incorporated recently installed its all important cancer-killing proton-beam cyclotron. WNIJ's Christopher Hosken watched the delivery of the 220-ton component and filed this report.
