The proton therapy centre of Hampton University in Virginia, open since 2010: the eighth in the US and the first owned and run by a historically Black university. More than 60 per cent of its patients are treated for prostate cancer.
Hampton University's 15th-anniversary release (31 July 2025) says the institute opened in 2010 as the eighth proton therapy centre in the United States and the first owned and operated by a historically Black college or university, with five treatment rooms in 98,000 square feet, then the largest free-standing proton centre in the world. It was conceived in 2005 by the university's then-president William R. Harvey, prompted by high prostate cancer rates in nearby underserved communities. More than 60 per cent of its patients are treated for prostate cancer; it enrolled more than 200 patients, including the largest number of African American participants, in COMPPARE, a study comparing proton and photon therapy for prostate cancer. In 2024 it extended pencil-beam scanning beyond prostate cancer to brain and head and neck cancers and began a rebranding; the release uses the name Hampton University Proton Cancer Institute, while NAPT still lists Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute. NAPT lists it at 40 Enterprise Parkway, Hampton.
