Carbon‑ion radiotherapy is internationally recognized as a cutting‑edge cancer treatment technology. The Heavy Ion Center of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital is the clinical application site for China's first and second carbon‑ion therapy systems with independent intellectual property rights. Since its clinical launch in March 2020, the center has accumulated extensive experience in heavy ion facility development, clinical application, and operational management, with over 3,200 patients treated to date. In terms of clinical application, technological development, annual patient throughput, treatment of major tumor types, and clinical outcomes, the center has achieved a level comparable to that of leading domestic and international institutions in the field.

To promote the advancement and development of ion radiotherapy in China and to strengthen the exchange and sharing of clinical and radiophysical research experience, the "International Training Course on China's Carbon‑Ion Therapy System (Third Session)", hosted by Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital, is scheduled to be held from September 16 to September 20, 2026, in Wuwei.

On August 26, Secretary Liu Jingfeng of Fujian Cancer Hospital led a delegation to visit Wuwei Cancer Hospital in Gansu Province. Both sides focused on the translation and clinical breakthroughs of domestic heavy ion technology, deepened collaboration between eastern and western regions in tumor diagnosis and treatment, jointly explored new pathways for treating difficult cases such as liver cancer, and aimed to create an internationally leading "Chinese solution."

The application of domestic heavy ion technology in precise radiotherapy has achieved new breakthroughs in cancer treatment. Professor Xia Tingyi went to Gansu to guide heavy ion therapy, enhancing the level of cancer diagnosis and treatment in Northwest China, and providing patients with better treatment options.

Introduction to the technique of hydrogel implantation in the presacral space under CT guidance to isolate the rectum, facilitating heavy ion radiotherapy for sacrococcygeal chordomas. This minimally invasive approach utilizes an absorbable hydrogel to physically displace the rectum, significantly reducing the maximum radiation dose to the rectum (from 67 Gy to 25 Gy). It ensures delivery of curative radiation doses while effectively preventing radiation-induced proctitis, thereby providing a safe radiotherapy opportunity for complex cases.

Recently, the Hepatobiliary Center of Wuwei Medical Science Academy conducted the administrative handover for the second quarter of this year. At the same time, they organized "emergency drills for medical staff suffering from needlestick injuries" and "emergency drills for sudden cardiac arrest in patients," aiming to enhance capabilities through "drills" and promote practical skills through "practice." After the emergency drills, a quarterly summary and star selection activity were held. Based on patient satisfaction surveys, comprehensive evaluations, and voting, three quarterly stars were selected. These three stars, with their outstanding contributions and excellent performance, became role models for all medical staff, demonstrating the center's positive and upward spirit and pursuit of excellence.
