Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although proton beam therapy has excellent dose concentration, there are still radiation resistant cancers.
Hyperthermia is one of the therapies that provide sensitization of radiotherapy using X-rays. But We don't know what kind of sensitization will be produced biologically when hyperthermia is combined with proton beam therapy. Fundamental experiment will be conducted to establish biological data that will be a breakthrough to refractory cancer therapy showing radiation resistance.
