Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, but receives extremely little federal funding to support research efforts.

Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com Spotlight on CERN – LHC News: A short tour of HIT – The Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — HIT: A new dimension in radiotherapy HIT is the world’s first heavy ion therapy facility with a movable radiation source (gantry). The beam head can be rotated by 360° around the patient. Numerous angles of irradiation can be selected. HIT is the world’s first ion therapy facility using the Intensity-controlled Rasterscan technique which offers the highest level precision in the three-dimensional radiation of tumors ever reached in the world. HIT is the first hospital-based treatment facility at a clinic in Europe where patients can be treated with protons as well as with various heavy ions (helium, carbon and oxygen ions). Ions offer the highest precision in tumor irradiation. Heavy ions also have a greater destructive power than the conventional radiation therapy. HIT ist the first therapy facility in the world that is equipped with robot-controlled treatment tables. This guaratees the highest level of precision in positioning the patient under the radiation source. • www.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de — Heidelberg Ion Therapy Centre (HIT) A new cancer therapy facility developed at the GSI Centre for Heavy Ion Research has begun routine operations. Ion beam therapy is precise, effective and gentle. It offers better chances of a cure, shorter …
