Heavy Ion Therapy Technology, or Heavy ion radiotherapy (HIR) is a sophisticated form of cancer treatment that employs accelerated heavy ions, most commonly carbon, to precisely target and destroy tumors. This method distinguishes itself from traditional radiotherapy by leveraging the unique physical and biological properties of these heavy ions. In HIR, carbon or other heavy ions are accelerated to a substantial fraction of the speed of light. These high-energy ions are then directed towards the tumor, delivering a concentrated dose of radiation directly to the cancerous cells. Unlike conventional X-ray therapy, which deposits energy along its entire path through the body, heavy ion therapy exhibits a distinct energy deposition pattern. The radiation dose increases with depth, reaching a maximum at a specific point known as the Bragg peak, which can be precisely positioned within the tumor. This allows for a highly targeted delivery of radiation, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This report focuses on the devices for heavy ion therapy technology market.
In conventional heavy-particle radiotherapy equipment, only carbon ions are used. In multi-ion therapy, on the other hand, various kinds of ion beams-optimal for the specific malignancy-are combined to kill more cancer cells with fewer side effects. In 2022, QST and SHI succeeded in creating a multi-ion source, using neon, oxygen, and helium ions among others, making multi-ion radiotherapy possible. The system was installed at QST's Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) for further research. With the new system, oxygen, heavier than carbon, was irradiated to the center of a tumor, and helium, lighter than carbon, was irradiated to an area nearer to normal tissue. Dose distribution and distribution of biological effects were also analyzed. Through a comparison with cases where only carbon ions were irradiated, it was confirmed that using different ion beams was more effective. In surgical treatments for sarcoma, depending on the site of the operation, patients often experience nerve injuries (neuropathy). Satisfactory results have been obtained using heavy ions, even for those patients for whom surgery would not have been possible. Moreover, in treatments of very large tumors, recurrence has been a frequent problem. The first case using multi-ion therapy occurred in November and December 2023, involving irradiation applied on the same patient 16 times. For the first time, carbon and oxygen irradiations were done on the same day, and switching between them was conducted smoothly. The patient was discharged the day after the treatments ended, and no early side effects were seen two months later.
