Radiation Cancer Treatment

Realization of radiation cancer treatment with low patient burden

  1. Now
    • Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are the three main therapies.
    • Rapid expansion of immune and targeted drugs
  3. 2030
    • Advances in diagnostic technology and early detection and treatment can improve treatment outcomes
    • Minimally invasive treatment optimized for each patient
  5. 2050

By combining high-dose radiation from inside and outside the body with digital and diagnostic technologies that accurately capture the location of cancer tumors and their changes, we significantly reduce the time and improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy with a low burden on patients, and contribute to the realization of a society where people are free from fear of cancer.
