Advantages of heavy ion therapy

1
Without incision or pain, it is a gentle treatment even friendly to the elderly. From the irradiation itself, you feel no pain and no heat.
("Body-friendly particle ion cancer treatment" from the Public Interest Foundation for Association for Nuclear Technology in Medicine)
2
Since the treatment gives ion particles with great energy focused only on the cancer, the side effects on normal tissues can be minimized. In addition, it is expected to be effective against intractable cancers. There is a possibility that it can be applied to cases in which conventional radiation is difficult, and excellent therapeutic effect can be expected. It may also be applicable to unresectable tumors.
3
Heavy ion therapy requires fewer fractions and shorter treatment period, compared with conventional radiation therapy. It is possible to receive treatment while continuing work in daily life.
