Southwest Florida Proton in south Fort Myers has treated its 100th patient and expanded operating hours to 14 hours per day. The cancer treatment center is the only facility on Florida’s west coast offering proton therapy, a specialized form of radiation treatment.
Southwest Florida Proton treated its 100th patient, marking a milestone less than six months after opening its south Fort Myers cancer treatment center. The facility, the only location on Florida’s west coast offering proton therapy, has expanded treatment hours to 14 hours per day to accommodate growing demand. Proton therapy is a specialized form of radiation treatment that targets cancer cells with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. Located at 9961 Estero Oaks Drive, the center opened in December and is part of a 42,000-square-foot medical complex that also includes Advocate Radiation Oncology and a Lee Health diagnostic imaging center.
