Abstract
The "Professional Training Plan in Cancer Medicine" was established for approximately 5 years, from April 2012 until September 2016, at the Graduate Division of Health Sciences in Komazawa University. This plan can be broadly divided into the following three projects that aimed to develop human resources. In the first project, medical physics experts were trained, so that radiation therapy can be properly and safely carried out for cancer patients. The second project established to develop imaging experts who can support oncological image interpretation for practical physician, so that accurate and prompt diagnosis of cancer can be performed. The third project aimed to train human resources who are responsible for the 21st century medical solutions involved in remote imaging diagnosis and image transfer system. Herein, we outline the importance of medical physicists in radiation oncology, and we concretely explain the contents of the medical physicist training, as supported by the "Professional Training Plan in Cancer Medicine".
