• Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center
  • Massachusetts General’s Hospital’s dedication to the treatment of cancer reaches back to 1925, when the hospital opened the nation’s first tumor clinic. Today it has the largest hospital-based research program in the United States.
    Research in Radiation Oncology at the Cancer Center is not purely academic. Its findings are translated into clinical applications and have led to the Cancer Center’s pioneering leadership in the fields of cancer surgery and radiation therapy, including the use of the first proton beam treatment for cancer in the United States.
    
    Today, radiation oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital is best known for its exceptionally comprehensive radiation treatment program.
