I have been involved in carbon-ion radiotherapy at QST Hospital, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, for many years, and began clinical research on carbon-ion therapy for pancreatic cancer in 2000. Throughout my career, I have treated numerous cases and worked to improve treatment outcomes. One of the achievements of this work was the inclusion of particle therapy for pancreatic cancer under health insurance coverage in 2022. Currently, I am applying the experience and knowledge I have gained to provide radiation therapy using proton beams.
