The Rutherford Cancer Centre, in Bedlington, is due to open later this year, creating a large number of jobs in clinical and administrative roles.
The centre is one of five being developed by Proton Partners International across the UK, after the company raised £200m to develop the facilities.
Part of the funding came from The Journal’s Let’s Grow programme.
Chris Land, centre manager at the Rurtherford Cancer Centre, said: “This centre is the result of substantial research and investment into the best way to treat specific types of cancer. We are going to provide proton therapy which has a number of advantages over more traditional treatments like radiotherapy as it targets the cancer specifically without damaging healthy tissue near it.
“As well as the healthcare benefits, our £38m North East centre will create up to 50 jobs with both clinical and administrative posts, and the construction project also created jobs for local workers.

The city has 19,254 people who are cheating on their partners, claims the website Illicit Encounters.
It has compiled the Infidelity Index 2018, which lists the UK’s most adulterous towns and cities.
It says 6.52 percent of Newcastle’s population is carrying on behind their partner’s backs.
And it’s even worse in Durham where just 5,152 people are having an affair - but it’s more than 8 per-cent of the population.
The statistics place Newcastle as the 10th most cheating city in the whole country on the site’s infidelity index.

The 27-year-old battled through a field of 128 players to reach the Players Championship 5 final, only to run into world No 1 Michael van Gerwen.
The two-time world champion was in imperious form, running out a 6-2 victor in Milton Keynes - despite Dobey posting a staggering 109.6 average.
‘Mighty Mike’ raced into a 4-0 lead, firing in a 12-darter and capitalising on six missed darts from Dobey to break twice.
Dobey hit bag with a stunning 10-dart leg before breaking throw to reduce the arrears to 4-2.
But Van Gerwen produced a moment of brilliance in the seventh leg, landing a 160 checkout with Dobey sitting on tops to move to within a leg of victory before closing out the win in leg eight.
