National Cancer Center (NCC), an organization that specializes in the cancer research, the treatment, and the education, introduced a Proton Therapy Facility in 2003 and started the first patient treatment on March 19, 2007. The facility consists of a cyclotron (Proteus 235) accelerating proton to 230MeV, 3 patient treatment rooms, and 1 experimental site. It is developed for clinical use as a commercial model by IBA, Belgium. We treated 519 cancer patients by 2009 in the facility.
