    Heavy ion therapy offers the advantages of superior dose distribution and strong radiobiological effects. In Japan, carbon beam therapy has been implemented for various cancers at NIRS. More than 3,000 patients with locally advanced cancers and cancers resistant to conventional radiation therapy have been treated with carbon beam therapy. Significant treatment results were obtained for various cancers in the lung, liver, head & neck, prostate, and bone & soft tissue. Gunma University has adopted a compact heavy ion therapy facility developed by NIRS.

    Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) with a radial scanning probe provides cross-sectional images of peripheral pulmonary lesions. We devised a technique of EBUS for the diagnosis of lung cancer.
    The applications of EBUS are 1) determination of the depth of tracheobronchial tumors, 2) EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA), 3) differential diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions, and 4) detection of the precise location of peripheral pulmonary lesions.
    EBUS using a thick guide sheath (2.5 mm in diameter) covering a miniature probe for 150 lesions was evaluated in a prospective open study. In the EBUS-GS procedure, the probe covered by a guide sheath is introduced into the lesion via the working channel of a bronchoscope. The probe is withdrawn, while the guide sheath is left in situ. A brush or biopsy forceps is introduced through the guide sheath into the lesion. EBUS visualized the image in 93% of the peripheral pulmonary lesions studied. One hundred sixteen (77%) of the 150 EBUS-GS procedures were diagnostic. Cases in which the probe was located within the lesion had a significantly higher diagnostic yield (105/121, 87%) than when the probe was located adjacent to it (8/19, 42%). Diagnostic yields from EBUS-GS were similar for lesions ≦ 10 mm (16/21, 76%), 10 < ≦ 15 mm (19/25, 76% , p = 0.99, χ2), 15 < ≦ 20 mm (24/35, 69% , p = 0.41, χ2), and 20 < ≦ 30 mm (33/43, 77% , p = 0.96, χ2), demonstrating the efficacy of EBUS-GS even in lesions ≦ 10 mm in diameter.

    Airway intervention treatment (airway stent) provides effective relief of the symptoms, mainly suffocation, caused by airway stenosis due to thoracic malignancy. The airway stent was first designed at the end of the 19th century and was improved thereafter with advancements of its materials, including metals and silicon. Recently, excellent airway stents that provide satisfactory strength against stenosis and position-stability in the airway caliber have been designed and are available for clinical use. In this paper we discuss the history and progress of the airway stent as well as its current status and future outlook.
