Heavy Ion Beam Therapy
Treatment of aggressive cancerous tumors. Used to reach difficult areas or positions of the body such as the spine, heart, eyes, brain, lungs and more. It is used where surgeries typically cannot go. Heavy Ion Beam uses carbon which is stronger than a proton beam and very successful at removing tumors while sparing normal cells.
About Heavy Ion Beam Therapy
Cancer treatment reserved for cancers that are not amenable to surgery. (Tumors that are near vital structures).
For certain kinds of cancer, the most effective therapy does not use x-rays or gamma rays but beams of ions, the electrically charged cores of atoms, including hydrogen ions (protons) and heavier ions such as carbon and neon. Today, beams of protons or heavier ions can be accelerated to precisely calculated energies and can be accurately targeted to tumors, which may be large or very small and may be dangerously shaped or positioned - surrounding the spinal cord, for example, or close to the optic nerve, or in the center of the brain. Due to their physical and biological properties, ion beams can target the tumor cells with precision, while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Thus ion beam therapy is a better choice for treatment to avoid high-risk surgery, widespread damage from other forms of radiation therapy like x-rays, or the debilitating effects of drugs that may unnecessarily affect the body?s normal tissues.
