Danbury Proton LLC has filed a new certificate of need application with the state Office of Health Strategy to establish a proton therapy center for cancer treatment. The estimated $90 million center, if approved, would be at 85 Wooster Heights Road, in Danbury. Danbury Proton re-applied for the certificate of need, or CON, in documents filed Nov. 6. Proton therapy uses a high energy beam of protons to target cancer. Proponents say it allows for safer and targeted delivery of radiation, with less impact on healthy tissue and fewer negative side effects.
