Abstract

Present status of the proton therapy project at the Wakasa Wan Energy Research Center, Japan, is reported. Construction of the accelerator system was finished in 2001, followed by some trials of the production of the flat clinical irradiation field for the clinical usage. After the patient positioning system with X-ray CT was verified, the first clinical trial was started for two patients with prostate cancer.
