AboutAbout the lab
Studying carbon-ion cancer therapy from many angles
Heavy Ion Radiotherapy is a collaborative department of the Graduate School of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Chiba University, established in partnership with QST Hospital of the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST).
Its listed research topics include the mechanisms by which carbon-ion beams act on living tissue, improving treatment techniques, expanding the range of indications, and improving treatment efficacy.
Developing combination therapies with molecular targeted drugs and immunotherapy, and treating and protecting against damage to normal tissue caused by carbon-ion beams, are also research topics.
Research on assessing and predicting the effects of carbon-ion therapy using PET (positron CT) and MRI is also listed.
Key terms
- Carbon-ion radiotherapy
- Radiation therapy for cancer that uses beams of carbon ions. It is a type of heavy ion radiotherapy.
- Molecular targeted drugs
- Drugs designed to target the function of molecules specific to cancer cells.
- Positron emission tomography (PET)
- An imaging test that visualizes the distribution of a radioactive drug introduced into the body. Also called positron CT.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the mechanisms by which carbon-ion beams act on living tissue and ways to improve carbon-ion therapy techniques. Expanding the range of patients who can be treated and improving treatment efficacy are also listed as research topics.
