Development of Heavy Ion Radiotherapy Facilities in China
2023Hadron therapy offers superior dose conformity in the treatment of deep-seated tumors compared with conventional X-ray therapy due to its Bragg-peak feature of energy deposition in organs. Heavy ion medical machine (HIMM) was constructed on the basis of the experience gained from the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou-Cooler Storage Ring (HIRFL-CSR)

Recent Technology for Heavy Ion Radiotherapy
2018 22nd International Conference on Ion Implantation Technology (IIT), 2018The technology of heavy ion radiotherapy (HI-RT) become established during over 40 years of experiences. The clinical results of HI-RT, obtained through scientific protocols and evaluations, have clearly demonstrated its advantages. At present, ten facilities are operating and eight are under commissioning or construction worldwide.

Treatment planning for heavy ion radiotherapy: clinical implementation and application
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2001The clinical implementation and application of a novel treatment planning system (TPS) for scanned ion beams is described, which is in clinical use for carbon ion treatments at the German heavy ion facility (GSI). All treatment plans are evaluated on the basis of biologically effective dose distributions.

Primary Malignant Melanoma of the Esophagus Treated With Heavy-Ion Radiotherapy
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2003Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) is an uncommon but aggressive tumor with very poor prognosis. There is no established treatment plan for the disease, which may be attributed to its rarity and aggressiveness. Surgery is the choice of treatment in early cases.

[Heavy ion radiotherapy for lung cancer].
Nihon Geka Gakkai zasshi, 1997In our institute, heavy ion medical accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) completed to be constructed October, 1994. Next year, we started to treat head & neck cancer firstly as a pilot study using carbon beam. Following the observation on the expected reaction of skin and mucosa membrane, we opened the protocol for lung cancer entitled "A phase I/II and II ...
