Emory Proton Therapy Center Information

Emory Proton Therapy Center offers advanced cancer treatment that prioritizes your quality of life. As Georgia's only proton therapy center and the largest in the Southeast, we stand at the forefront of cancer research, innovation, and discovery. Our center is an internationally recognized facility with active research and open clinical trials, affiliated with the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, an NCI-designated cancer center. Our treatment utilizes intensity-modulated pencil-beam scanning technology, ideal for targeting irregularly shaped tumors or those near sensitive areas.
