Description

Heavy ion beam therapy has become an important modality in cancer treatment due to its characteristic Bragg peak and high relative biological effectiveness. Currently, there are 18 heavy ion therapy centers in operation worldwide, with 5 located in mainland China. This paper focuses on the current status of heavy ion therapy facilities in China, objectively describes the technical features of domestically developed heavy ion therapy equipment, and provides an perspective on future technological developments.
