A heavy ion medical project is currently underway in the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone, according to the official website of the WHDZ.
Experts say that heavy ion cancer therapy allows tumors to be treated without using invasive procedures such as surgery and without causing pain.
A working conference was held on Nov 29, tabling reports and information on the construction of the heavy ion project.
Officials said the conference was attended by WHDZ officials and experts in the heavy ion field.
Cai Xiaohong, president of CAS Ion Medical Technology Co, gave a briefing on the background and significance of heavy ion therapy, the progress being made in domestic heavy ion medical projects and the prospects and prospects for heavy ion therapy.
Heavy ion technology is currently recognized as the most advanced and cutting-edge radiotherapy technology in the world.
It has only been pioneered by a few developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and Europe for a long time.
Officials said the project is also the first heavy ion project in Central China.
They said the breakthroughs in technological barriers, its technological development and applications in the field have great practical and strategic significance.
