Summary Heavy ion therapy is a radiation therapy that targets cancer by irradiating high energy heavy ions(mainly carbon ions) accelerated to about 70% of the speed of light onto tumors. Based on the outstanding physical characteristics of heavy ions, including deep Bragg peak and small penumbrae, heavy ion therapy minimizes the radiation exposure of normal tissues and can irradiate tumors in a concentrated manner with the prescribed dose sufficient for cancer removal. Compared to conventional X-ray based radiation therapy, the radiation exposure of normal tissues is significantly lower, so the side effects of the treatment can be greatly reduced..........
