Abstract

We have been conducting clinical research to establish carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) as a standard treatment and to further improve clinical results. We established the Japan Carbon-ion Radiation Oncology Study Group(J-CROS), conduct comparative research, and utilize the technology of National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology to develop treatment methods with higher therapeutic effects. We will introduce the Current status and Perspective of CIRT and the latest results by disease.
