The Yonsei University Severance Hospital YUHS Center
The heavy ion cancer therapy equipment at YUHS Hospital can deliver the heavy ion beam from every angle using a superconducting rotating-gantry. Compared to conventional fixed direction equipment, it forces less physical burden on the patient and enables more accurate treatment for the affected area. Toshiba ESS is highly proud of this contract with Yonsei University Health System, which is the most prestigious hospital in Korea. Our technologies have been developed in collaboration with QST/NIRS and quite confident that our state-of-the-art heavy ion therapy system will contribute to the advanced radiotherapy in YUHS cancer center.”
Do-Heum Yoon, president & CEO of YUHS said, “Heavy-ion therapy, known as the most advanced cancer treatment in the world, will deliver the promise of patient-centered care in an era of incurable cancer and super-aging society.
Through the introduction of Toshiba’s heavy-ion therapy system, YUHS hopes to bring breakthrough innovations in cancer therapy as we did when we opened nation’s first cancer center more than five decades ago.”
