Why Carbon Ion Therapy?
The Benefits of Carbon Ion Therapy
Our advanced treatments offer numerous benefits, including:
Works for many cancers.
Carbon ion therapy has made it possible to treat cancers that were previously difficult to address with surgery or radiation. Ongoing research continues to expand the types of cancers that can be treated, and the number is expected to grow.
Fewer Side Effects.
With the unique “Bragg Peak” effect, carbon ions deliver maximum radiation precisely to the tumor while sparing healthy tissues. This leads to significantly fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments.
Shorter Treatment Duration.
While traditional radiation requires around 25 sessions, carbon ion therapy typically needs only 12. This shorter treatment period greatly improves patient convenience, especially for elderly patients who prefer non-invasive treatments.
“I was surprised when they told me it was over, as it felt like the treatment had just started. As I had heard, I didn’t feel any pain at all.”
