Abstract
Hadron beams have attractive growing interest for cancer treatment owing to their high dose localization at the Bragg peak as well as high biological effect there. Recently, therefore, heavy-ion and proton cancer treatments have been successfully carried out at various facilities and several facility construction projects have also been progressing in Japan, based on the development of the accelerator and beam-delivery technologies.
