News! Wuwei Heavy Ion Tumor Treatment Center will be built.

(Health Times Network reporter Huang Qixuan) a few days ago, reporters from Wuwei City, Gansu Province, the official website was informed that Wuwei heavy ion tumor treatment center in China's first independent research and development of medical heavy ion accelerator successfully out of beam (i.e., heavy ion accelerator can accelerate the desired speed of particles), which also means that China will become the world's fourth country to carry out heavy ion cancer research.
in fact, Lanzhou heavy ion shallow treatment device as early as November 2006 has been used for the treatment of a tumor patient, the cancer patient's subcutaneous depth of about 1.5 cm of the tumor trial treatment, after 10 days of treatment, the tumor has been reduced by nearly half. In the past 10 years, 213 patients with tumor have been studied in clinical trials by the heavy ion shallow and deep heavy ion therapy device, and the overall effect has been achieved.
" The cancer treatment center could open as early as 2016. "Staff at Wuwei Cancer Hospital in Gansu Province told The Health Times that the clinical experimental treatment of patients with heavy ion pre-tumors showed that the local control rate of heavy ion therapy was more than 80% for the most headache in lung cancer, liver cancer and even the medical community.
heavy ion cancer treatment is a modern recognized advanced and effective radiotherapy method, accelerator radiation therapy for patients, with the health tissue radiation damage is light, short course of treatment, high cure rate and so on. According to the Gansu Morning Post, the heavy ion accelerator can run for 230 days a year (about 5,500 hours) and each heavy ion treatment center can treat 1,000 to 2,000 cancer patients a year.Zhao Hongwei, a researcher at the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,
, introduced the heavy ion cyclotron, which is designed by the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is dedicated to cancer treatment and does not have any magnetic field pad coils. The overall design starts from the consideration of reducing cost, saving energy and facilitating commercial operation, and has the characteristics of small size, few adjustable parameters and easy operation.
it is worth mentioning that the Gansu Wuwei Heavy Ion Tumor Treatment Center, where the accelerator is located, is also the first heavy ion hospital in China. Currently, china operates only one proton center and one proton heavy ion center, located in Shandong and Shanghai. Wuwei's heavy ion tumor treatment center after the success of the beam, you can apply for CFDA testing, testing standards can be carried out clinical trials, test indicators can be officially activated after the treatment of cancer patients.
it is understood that Wuwei heavy ion tumor treatment center started construction on May 2, 2012, with an investment of 1.6 billion yuan and 1,600 beds designed. After the center is put into use, it is estimated that the cost of treatment per patient will be less than $200,000.
