(NYT9) LOMA LINDA, Calif. -- Dec. 25, 2007 -- CANCER-PROTON-TREAT-2 -- In Loma Linda Medical Center's fixed beam treatment room, where brain and eye tumors are treated, a machine is readied for a patient in November 2007. The patient's head will be immobilized by the mask at left. There is a new nuclear arms race under way -- in hospitals. Medical centers are rushing to turn nuclear particle accelerators, formerly used only for exotic physics research, into the latest weapons against cancer. Some experts say the push reflects the best and worst of the nation's market-based health care system, which tends to pursue the latest, most expensive treatments -- without much evidence of improved health -- even as soaring costs add to the nation's economic burden.
