Our heavy ion deep cancer therapy clinical trial study starts

Recently, in the shallow tumor therapy clinical trial success based on the Chinese heavy ions in the treatment of cancer has made new progress, deep cancer therapy clinical trial study in modern physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As of April 3, already have signed more than patients in clinical trials began in zhiyuanshu based in modern physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences of the Gansu province in heavy ion beam therapy cancer clinical research base to begin treatment. "The clinical trials still by Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of modern physics and Lanzhou in Gansu province Cancer Hospital, Lanzhou Institute and other medical institutions, and the original combination of depth less than 2.5 cm of shallow cancer treatment trials, this is the depth of greater than 2.5 cm deep cancer clinical trials. "Modern physics, Chinese Academy of science and technology Deputy Commissioner Huzheng countries said. In November 2006, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of modern physics and local health agencies to begin heavy ion shallow tumor therapy clinical trial research. Huzheng States that "has a 8 103 cases of shallow cancer clinical trials, efficacy was significant, indicating that the Chinese in heavy ion superficial treatment of human cancer clinical trial on the initial success. "In 2008, the new heavy-ion accelerator of Lanzhou cooling storage ring provides high energy heavy-ion beam treatment of deep tumor treatment Terminal in Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of modern physics is built, and completed a beam test and the first cell and animal studies. Recently started heavy ion deep cancer therapy clinical trial research is on that basis.

Treatment of malignant tumours is haunting the world challenge.

Doctor of general use, though in the radiotherapy of cancer treatment on some show good results, but there is an obvious side effect, but in the course of treatment, will give the affected the surrounding healthy tissue causing greater damage. Unlike traditional radiation therapy for cancer e, X, compared to conventional x-ray, heavy ion beam with radiation damage to healthy tissue, the treatment course short, light cure rates high.
