DANBURY - An $80 million cancer treatment center that would use a novel type of radiation to kill more tumor cells and less healthy tissue will be the subject of a public hearing in two weeks.
The state Office of Health Strategy, which is reviewing whether the novel radiation treatment proposed by Danbury Proton is warranted in Connecticut, will conduct the April 1 hearing online over the videoconferencing platform, Zoom.
The Danbury proposal is one of two “proton therapy” cancer centers under review in Connecticut. The second - a $72 million proposed center in Wallingford under a partnership between Hartford HealthCare and the Yale New Haven Health System, has already had an OHS public hearing.
