【Precautions】
Carbon-ion radiotherapy is a highly effective treatment with minimal side effects. However, as with other treatments, there is a possibility of recurrence.
In addition, not all cancers are eligible for carbon-ion radiotherapy.
Indications for carbon-ion radiotherapy require a comprehensive judgment by a medical specialist. Even if a patient has an eligible disease, there are cases in which it is determined that carbon-ion radiotherapy is not indicated as a result of a post-consultation review, and there are also cases in which carbon-ion radiotherapy cannot be performed for technical reasons, even if all the conditions are met.
