Advanced Cancer Technologies Available in China

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

A boron drug accumulates in tumor cells; a neutron beam triggers a local nuclear reaction that destroys them cell by cell. Usually only 1–2 sessions.

Partner center: Hainan Panboron BNCT Hospital — the world's second and China's first clinical BNCT center

Heavy Ion (Carbon-Ion) Therapy

Carbon beams deposit peak energy exactly at the tumor, with higher biological effectiveness than X-rays and fewer fractions — typically 4–16 sessions.

Partner center: Wuwei Cancer Hospital (Wuwei & Lanzhou campuses), using China's first independently developed heavy-ion system

Proton Therapy & Gamma Knife

Protons stop precisely at the tumor with little exit dose — a major advantage for pediatric tumors, brain, lung and prostate cancers, and re-irradiation.

Partner centers: Guangzhou Concord Cancer Hospital, Hebei Yizhou Cancer Hospital

CAR-T Cell Therapy

Your own T-cells are engineered to recognize and attack cancer cells. China runs one of the world's largest CAR-T programs, at a fraction of US and European prices.

Partner center: Peking University Shougang Hospital (Beijing)

Advanced Radionuclide Therapy

Targeted radiopharmaceuticals — Lu-177 PSMA, Lu-177 DOTATATE, I-131, Ra-223 and emerging alpha emitters — deliver radiation systemically to tumor cells.

Y-90 Liver Tumor Radioembolization

Microspheres loaded with yttrium-90 are guided into the arteries feeding liver tumors, irradiating them from within with minimal damage to healthy liver.

Partner center: Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital — dedicated Y-90 interventional radiotherapy center
