＜notice＞
※There can be some cases which consist of　37-40times / 7.4-8weeks,
　 depending on the overall physical condition of the patient.

Suitability is restricted by the size and stage of the cancer and the overall physical condition of the patient.
Treatment is advancing all around the world, and we expect more cancers to be treatable in the future.
Cancers that affect the entire body, such as leukemia or malignant lymphoma, as well as ones like stomach cancer, cannot be treated
with proton therapy.
