1994年6月进行了第一次使用HIMAC产生的碳束的临床试验。截至2006年12月，接受治疗的病人总数超过3 000人。鉴于协议数量的显著增长，日本政府于2003年批准了NIRS碳离子治疗作为先进医疗技术。使用HIMAC的碳离子治疗的令人印象深刻的进步得到了高可靠性操作以及束流传输和加速器技术的先进发展的支持。基于HIMAC十年的经验，我们最近提出了一种新的加速器设施，用于在日本广泛使用的碳离子癌症治疗。自2004年4月以来，一直在开发这一拟议设施的加速器和束流传输系统的关键技术，主要重点是缩小设施规模以降低成本。根据拟建设施的设计和研发研究，2006年4月在群马大学开始建设。此外，我们对HIMAC的未来计划还包括设计一个新的处理设施。设计工作已经开始，并将导致使用HIMAC的治疗的进一步发展。下面的描述给出了一个新的加速器设施的癌症治疗与碳离子和新的治疗设施在HIMAC的简要说明。
The first clinical trial with carbon beams generated from HIMAC was conducted in June 1994. The total number of patients treated as of December 2006 was in excess of 3,000. In view of the significant growth in the number of protocols, the Japanese government gave its approval for carbon-ion therapy at NIRS as an advanced medical technology in 2003. The impressive advances of carbon-ion therapy using HIMAC have been supported by high-reliability operation and by advanced developments of beam-delivery and accelerator technologies. Based on our ten years of experience with HIMAC, we recently proposed a new accelerator facility for cancer therapy with carbon ions for widespread use in Japan. The key technologies of the accelerator and beam-delivery systems for this proposed facility have been under development since April 2004, with the main thrust being focused on downsizing the facility for cost reduction. Based on the design and R&D studies for the proposed facility, its construction was begun at Gunma University in April 2006. In addition, our future plans for HIMAC also include the design of a new treatment facility. The design work has already been initiated, and will lead to the further development of therapy using HIMAC. The following descriptions give a summary account of the new accelerator facility for cancer therapy with carbon ions and of the new treatment facility at HIMAC.
