Description
SAGA-HIMAT is a cancer therapy project with carbon ion beam, which is promoted by Saga prefecture with public private partnership. After beam commissioning, we have started the treatment at the end of August 2013. Since then we have gradually increased patient number, and accumulated patient number was 858 before maintenance period at middle of July 2015. For the treatment, two rooms are now available (room A and room B). To increase capacity of the HIMAT facility, we have started the construction of the third treatment room C with a scanning system.
