ドイツのハイデルベルグ重粒子線治療の現状はどうなっているのだろう。
ハイデルベルグ大学のサイトに放射線治療の紹介があった。

紹介は重粒子だけではないようだ。

Welcome to the Department of Radiation Oncology at Heidelberg University Hospital

Radiation Oncology is one of the three main pillars in oncology together with surgery and systemic treatment such as chemotherapy.

Over the more than 100-year history, our center for radiation oncology has become one of the largest and most modern institutions around the world, focusing on patient treatment as well as preclinical cancer research. With 49 specialized physicians and a large number of technicians and nursing staff, we treat over 4,500 patients per year as outpatients or on our three dedicated radiation oncology wards. Radiation treatment is performed in general from Monday to Friday, and the duration of the treatment typically extends over a couple of weeks, depending on the tumor treated.

Our radiation oncology wards include 62 beds and the team is specialized in all combination treatments including chemotherapy or modern molecular substances as well as in palliative care. The department consists of 7 linear accelerators and two tomotherapy units, intraoperative radiotherapy, brachytherapy as well as particle therapy with protons and carbon ions. Particle therapy is performed at the Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center (HIT), which offers treatment of an additional 1,300 patients per year.

放射線医は49名、治療患者数は年間4500人。そして肝心の重粒子線治療は年間1300人だという。放医研の2倍近いなー。
