“The recent financing will be instrumental in continuing our mission to increase patients’ access to proton therapy. We are delighted to have a premiere group like Maverick Capital invest in our company. We have been very pleased to have the financial and business support of our existing and new investors. Bringing proton therapy into the community where most patients are treated for cancer is an extremely complex undertaking. It requires investors with experience and vision. We are very fortunate to have MVC and Maverick working with us,” said Hadley Ford, CEO of ProCure.

Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation treatment and an important alternative to standard X-ray radiation for many patients with cancer and for some non-cancerous tumors. Proton therapy has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of a broad range of tumor types including brain, central nervous system, gastrointestinal, head and neck, lung and prostate as well as sarcomas and many pediatric cancers. The precision of proton therapy makes it especially effective for treating children and adults with anatomically complex tumors such as base of skull and tumors along the spinal cord.
