Description
Summary:Proton beam therapy (PBT) has gone through several stages along the path of its development: experimental studies and the accumulation of clinical data, then, starting in 1990, the construction of clinical multi-room PBT centers, which after 2011 was supplemented by the development of single-room complexes. The clinical results accumulated to date in a number of cases show that there is no alternative to PBT for the treatment of a number of oncological diseases, which suggests the feasibility of developing both multi-room and specialized single-room PBT complexes. The review is devoted to the role of the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” in the development of PBT in Russia, namely, the development of two PBT complexes as part of the creation of the Scientific and Educational Medical Center for Nuclear Medicine of the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute.”
