1. What are the advantages of heavy ion therapy?

1. Good effect and high cure rate

As soon as the X-ray of conventional radiotherapy enters the body, the amount of X-ray will become weaker and weaker with depth, and the effect will become worse and worse. Instead of effectively reaching deeper cancer cells in the body, it damaged normal cells before they got there. It is painful and ineffective for the patient.

2. Irradiation precision, high accuracy, strong penetration performance

Heavy particle (heavy ion) radiation to the depth of the body can be accurately controlled, and only when the affected part of the stop irradiation to play a strong effect.

3. "No operation", no burden on the body, fewer side effects

The treatment of cancer by irradiating the tumor site from outside the body can be described as a non-invasive treatment without operation, which is characterized by less pain and burden on the body without operation. Compared with the traditional radiation treatment, the side effects are small, the patient has no pain, burning, fear and other feelings, leaving no trace. The same dose is better than X-rays. Normal tissue damage is minimal, patients relaxed. Return to normal life after treatment. And irradiation course is short, depending on the condition, 2-5 weeks.

4. The prognosis is better and the recurrence rate is low

Studies show that 50 to 100 percent of patients treated with heavy-particle (heavy ion) radiation are tumor free after two years (depending on the organ, the effect varies). For example, the 3-year control rate of early non-small cell lung cancer is over 90&, 85-95% of liver cancer, and almost 100% of prostate cancer.

Second, Japan is the first choice for heavy ion therapy

In 1994, Japan was the first country in the world to start the clinical application of heavy particle line for cancer treatment. Japan has five heavy ion line treatment facilities and 80 percent of the world's heavy ion treatment is performed in Japan.

Advantages of Japanese heavy ion therapy:

1. Start early

The world's first heavy ion line cancer clinical treatment research country.

2. Japanese monopoly of equipment manufacturers

In the world, there are a total of Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Toshiba, Sumitomo, Varian, IBA and other manufacturers capable of manufacturing particle wire equipment, among which Japan has four, and each of them has relatively strong technical force.

3. Japan takes the lead in treatment technology

In 2005, the Japanese Institute of Radiological Medicine developed the heavy ion point scanning, the treatment technology for respiratory tumors, Japan is better than Heidelberg's advanced, biological male Anying is also doing well. Accelerator synchronization and cyclotron, are relatively stable.

4. Strong medical talents

Attach importance to talent training and craftsman spirit. Japan is the only country in the world that has talents in various fields, including research, clinical experiments, physics and medicine.

5. Low cost of treatment

Japanese heavy ion treatment has a history of 20 years, medical experience and clinical results are the highest level in the world, relatively low treatment cost.
