Description
In the Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Science in Krakow (IFJ PAN), Poland, in cooperation with the Department of Ophthalmology and Ophthalmic Oncology of the Collegium Medicum, Jagiellonian University and the Centre of Oncology of the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Institute Krakow Branch, is running the project of designing and operating a proton ocular radiotherapy facility in which the 60 MeV proton beam accelerated in the AIC-144 isochronous cyclotron of IFJ PAN is applied. The facility will be able to satisfy national needs of ocular melanoma therapy in Poland (about 100 cases per year).
