Mayo Clinic Investing $370M on Experimental Cancer Treatment Centers

The Mayo Clinic has started construction on an experimental cancer treatment center on its Rochester, Minn., campus with plans to begin construction for a similar center on its Phoenix, Ariz., campus, according to a Finance and Commerce report.

The experimental cancer treatment centers will feature tiny proton beams used to determine whether such technology is a better method for fighting cancer tumors than the traditional X-ray radiation method. The proton beam treatment centers in Rochester and Phoenix are expected to cost $188 million and $182 million, respectively.
