Heavy Ion Center

The Heavy Ion Cancer Treatment Center (HICTC) is a specialized medical and research institution focused on the delivery of carbon-ion radiotherapy, a highly precise form of external beam radiation therapy. Utilizing the Heavy Ion Medical Machine (HIMM) developed by the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the center provides advanced treatment for various solid tumors that are often resistant to conventional X-ray therapy. The facility integrates clinical care with ongoing research into particle physics and radiobiology to optimize treatment protocols for complex cancers. HICTC represents a significant advancement in oncology within the region, offering a non-invasive alternative for patients with deep-seated or radioresistant malignancies.
