"We have a wealthy donor interested in making a significant donation (no idea how much, anywhere from 6-8 figures) to our radiation oncology department. What would you ask for? Reflexion? Protons? Thanks for any great ideas!"

Start an endowed fund to assist patients with copays and transportation OR departmental research initiatives. Or both. F*** the gadgets

Endowed chair(s) a great idea - minimum here is usually 2 mil plus. Rest to support research/clinical trials for individual/department; can be specified by donor if they wish. Tech is for institution to buy, unless the donor has a specific desire.

While they would be happy to take your money, I don't believe the cancer center would allow a radiation oncologist to be endowed.

That Reflexion and those protons have really revolutionized cancer outcomes and how we care for cancer. Tough choice!

They will allow it if there’s enough money involved

6-8 figures? Okay. Anywhere from 100K to 99M. As said before, how about just help out the patients?

The last thing you see from many hospital "foundations" in my experience

Well, they have certainly revolutionized reimbursement. You gotta spend money to make money!

Also we don’t talk about negative proton trials or the need to inject five full FDG doses into a patient to treat a bone met.
