Heavy Ion Radiotherapy for Cancer

Heavy particle cancer treatment is an advanced radiotherapy, unlike traditional radiotherapy that uses high-energy X-rays or electron beams, free carbon atoms into carbon ions, use a synchrotron to accelerate particles to 70% of the speed of light, then irradiate the cancer focus, to carry out cancer treatment methods.

Traditional radiotherapy in the past, while irradiating malignant tumors, it will also cause damage to the surrounding normal tissues, lead to short-term or even permanent treatment sequelae.
With the efforts of physicists, discovered the uniqueness of heavy particle beams, the energy can be fully released only at a certain depth of treatment, can accurately destroy malignant tumors, but it greatly reduces the damage to the surrounding normal tissues, the side effects of traditional radiotherapy have almost disappeared.
