Systemic cancer therapy with RI
When the caner is not limited to a well defined, primary tumor, systemic therapies must be usedOne well known solution is to graft a therapeutic (toxic) RI on a cancer cell seeking moleculeAlpha or Auger electron emitting RI are often preferredThe main problem is the dosimetry and treatment planning: how to assess correctly the radiation dose received by the tumor, and by the healthy organs at riskPairs of diagnostic/ therapy RI are useful in this respect

“Traditional” nuclear medicine
Technetium 99m, the most commonly used RI in NM is produced in reactorsBut a number of other, very important NM RI are produces with cyclotrons of higher energyenergy
Tl-201 (Cardiac studies)I-123 (Thyroid, Various examinations)
For these longer life isotopes, international distribution is possibleLarge, very powerful cyclotrons are owned by by radiopharmaceutical companies

Cyclotrons for brachytherapy
Large doses, lower cross-section require high current operationExamples
18Mev2mA on target14 cyclotrons in the same factory: 28 mA total proton beam current
In such cyclotrons, 80% of the RF power is used for beam acceleration, 20% for building the accelerating fieldCurrent total accelerator efficiency are over 35%, 50% efficiencies in view !

Cyclotrons for proton therapy?
In 1991, when we entered in PT, the consensus was that the best accelerator for PT was a synchrotronIBA introduced a very effective cyclotron design, today the majority of PT centers use the cyclotron technologyOver these 15 years, users came to appreciate the advantages of cyclotrons:
SimplicityReliabilityLower cost and sizeBut, most importantly, the ability to modulate rapidly and accurately the proton beam current

Status of the cyclotron design
During the last two years, a team of accelerator physicists at the JINR in Dubna has completed the physical design of the cyclotronThis study has been summarized into a comprehensive design report.On January 8th 2007, an international design review was organized by IBA, with worlds key key superconducting cyclotron experts.The outcome of the review was completely positive.

The next steps for the C400 (K1600) cyclotron
In 2007, the design study will continue, and focus progressively more on industrial construction issuesThe detailed design of critical subsystems, such as the superconducting coils will be subcontractedWhen the contract for a system will be signed, the final design and construction process will be launched, to reach a working prototype in 3 yearsHowever, some alternatives are considered to start the construction of a prototype before a sales contract is signed
