Mayo Clinic responds to criticism over proton cancer centers

By

The newspaper on Tuesday published an opinion piece that used the Mayo proton centers as examples of a "medical arms race" that "could cost taxpayers billions of dollars for a treatment that, in many cases, appears to be no better than cheaper alternatives."
