Project of the demonstration center of proton therapy at DLNP, JINR

JINR is one of the leading research centers of proton therapy in Russia. The modern technique of 3D conformal proton radiotherapy was first effectuated in Russia in this center, and now it is effectively used in regular treatment sessions. A special Medico-Technical Complex was created at JINR on the basis of the phasotron used for proton treatment. About 100 patients undergo a course of fractionated treatment here every year. During last 14 years from the startup of the Dubna radiological department more than 1000 patients were treated by protons. A project of the demonstration center of the proton therapy is discussed on the base of a super-conducting 230 MeV synchrocyclotron S2C2 of new IBA compact proton system Proteus ONE. The superconducting synchrocyclotron is planned to install instead of the phasotron at the Medico-Technical Complex of the DLNP. For the demonstration center the new transport line is designed for beam delivery to a medical cabin.
