Outline of Final Research Achievements

There is high possibility to increase cure rate of cancer by using new radiation therapy, proton beam therapy and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). We performed not only basic research of these two particle therapy, but also clinical studies of chemoproton therapy for esophageal cancer, locally advanced lung cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma. As a result, chemoproton therapy, which was new field of cancer therapy, showed high treatment effect with less toxicity for the heart and lung. We also carried out clinical study of proton for pediatric cancer, and started long term to follow up of 150 patients. For clinical study of BNCT, the treatments were finalized in 4 patients.
