Advanced therapy for cancer treatment
Print Edition
SHANGHAI will soon have China’s first — and the world’s third — center to use an advanced form of radiotherapy to treat cancer. The high-end medical facility will use beams of protons and heavy ions to irradiate cancerous tissue.
The Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center was approved by the China Food and Drug Administration in March after completing 35 clinical trial tests to prove its effectiveness and safety and to spot any possible side effects from the treatment.
Most developed countries use only one of the particle types. Only Japan and Germany have centers with both proton and heavy ion to treat the disease, making Shanghai only the third country in the world to offer the most advanced radiotherapy treatment that are shorter and relatively pain-free.
The protons and heavy ions are more precise, accurate and generate more powerful doses to kill the cancerous cells without damaging the surrounding normal tissue.
