Outline of Final Research Achievements

The carbon beam therapy requires huge accelerator and very expensive. Proton beam therapy system has gantry, image-guidance, and const-effective but less sharpness of the beam at the shallow area. We built a concept and requirement to build a new generation particle beam therapy system which has rotating gantry, real-time tumour-tracking image guidance in the deep part of the body, and sharp beam-edge at the shallow part of the body. Hybrid Helium and proton beams can be used for the same patient by our development with the size of synchrotron similar to the proton beam therapy system.
We also developed a new in-silico biomarker to select the optimal particle beam therapy for each patient using normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model with the confidence interval. We will be able to predict which particle beam therapy is the best choice for the patient using the difference of NTCP, ΔNTCP, between two options of radiotherapy with a statistical significance level.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

がんの治療に重要な役割を果たしつつある小型動体追跡ガントリー式陽子線治療と、浅い部分のビームがシャープな重粒子線治療(炭素線)の良い点を取り入れて、重粒子線治療装置よりもコストを抑えた治療装置である、ヘリウム・陽子線ハイブリッド治療装置の研究開発を行った。さらに、ΔNTCPという指標により、個々の患者に最適な放射線治療の選択を可能とする、統計学的な信頼度を持つインシリコ・バイオマーカーの開発を行った。
