内容記述 | In 1994, carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) was begun at the research center for charged particle therapy, NIRS (National Institute of Radiological Sciences) using the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), which was the world's first heavy ion accelerator complex dedicated to medical use. Among several types of ion species, carbon ions were selected for cancer therapy because they were presumed to possess optimal properties in terms of biologically effective dose localization. Since June 1994, almost 50 clinical protocols of CIRT have been conducted in an attempt to determine the optimal dose-fractionation and irradiation method for the treatment of specific diseases. Until August 2011, a total of more than 6000 patients had been registered on to these protocols. These clinical studies revealed that many cancers can be cured safely with a shorter treatment period than conventional radiation. Based on these experiences, we embarked on the research and development of a new generation beam delivery facilities such as a 3D-scanning method with a pencil beam and a compact rotating gantry. A clinical research using the pencil beam scanning was in operation since May 2011. |
