Cancer patients find hope at IU: the IU Cancer Center, one the nation's premier cancer centers, offers innovative patient care, while the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute in Bloomington offers one of the most precise and least invasive forms of radiation therapy. It is one of only four such facilities in the United States. IU is also the place where new treatments for the deadliest cancers are pioneered, including the cure for testicular cancer that saved cyclist Lance Armstrong's life and a new blood test that may detect tumors years before they form.
