NIRS-KFSHRC Joint Symposium on Carbon Ion Therapy

Venue:   See Lectures Below

Coordinator:
Mohammad  Alshabanah
Faculty: Hirohiko Tsujii, Tadashi Kamada, Naoyoshi Yamamoto, Koji Noda , Shigeru Yamada, Shinichiro Mori, Abdullah Al amro, John Guelette, Fridtjof Nusslin, Shigeru Yamada, Hideo Tatsuzaki

Target Audience:     All radiation oncologists, radiation physicists and radiation therapists who wont to have first hand information related to Carbon Ion Therapy and the process of the its clinical implementation . Basic knowledge of radiation oncology and radiation physics are a prerequisite.

Aim

Carbon ion therapy to treat radio resistant tumors is presently blooming everywhere around the World with a rising number of projects. Recently USA and China are joining the group of Japanese and European pioneers, Germany and Italy. In that field, Japanese experience with up to 16 years of clinical experience stands as the clinical base for the present development of hydrotherapy worldwide. This joint-symposium summarizes the experiences of carbon ion radiotherapy at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) of the National Institute of Radiological Sciences- Japan, where more than 5000 patients were treated with such modality. As well, Saudi Arabia current and future efforts in this field will be presented.
