## TL;DR

Baltimore's second NCI comprehensive centre, with the Maryland Proton Treatment Center and the GammaPod breast radiotherapy system invented on campus.

## Summary

NCI-designated in 2008 and comprehensive since 2016, the Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center serves Baltimore and the state of Maryland alongside Johns Hopkins. Radiation oncology is a signature strength: the Maryland Proton Treatment Center opened in 2016, and the GammaPod, a stereotactic radiotherapy device for breast cancer, was invented at the University of Maryland. The centre runs a large blood and marrow transplant programme and early engineered T-cell trials in myeloma, and studies cancer disparities in Baltimore's Black population.
