Newsletter / Hyogo Ion Beam Medical Center

Newsletter

Having a world-class, large-scale synchrotron radiation facility combined with the only particle beam therapy facility in western Japan, we have high expectations for early detection and epoch-making treatment of cancer. To utilize these facilities and treat patients with particle beam radiation therapy, we need to cooperate with medical institutions inside and outside the prefecture.

For this purpose, we issue a newsletter that introduces applications of particle beam therapy, treatment protocols, patient referral methods, and so forth.

We hope that this newsletter will serve as bridges between medical institutions and help bring a step toward conquering cancer.
