Feature of i-ROCK
Multidisciplinary cancer treatment
i-ROCK is the carbon-ion radiotherapy facility at Kanagawa Cancer Center(KCC). KCC is the Designated Cancer Care Hospital of Japan, located in Kanagawa prefecture. A multidisciplinary approach combining surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is adopted throughout KCC. Medical specialists and staff at KCC provide comprehensive care, individualized for each patient's disease conditions and quality of life.
State-of-the-art-irradiation technology
The i-ROCK deploys the most advanced irradiation technology, the high-speed three-dimensional (3D) pencil-beam scanning method, to irradiate tumors with high precision, conforming to the target tumor's unique size and shape while minimizing potential damage to surrounding normal tissue.

Robotic treatment couch and in-room CT in every treatment room
Treatment room
The six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) robotic couch enables quick, smooth and accurate patient positioning for therapeutic irradiation.
The in-room CT monitors the anatomical structure inside the body and checks the position of tumor target more accurately, enabling more precise treatment.
The Radiation Oncology Center in Kanagawa for highly precise radiotherapy
High-precision radiotherapy device
of linear accelerator (LINAC) machine
In radiotherapy, we can provide not only particle radiotherapy but also high-precision photon radiotherapy.
The department of radiation oncology in Kanagawa Cancer Center(KCC) provides high-accuracy radiotherapy such as stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), by use of four linear accelerators including the latest machine. KCC implements both LINAC and carbon-ion radiotherapy machines and offers a full spectrum of radiotherapy for patients with any type and stage of cancer.
