Shenzhen Special Zone News Recently, Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town Cultural Real Estate Investment Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Daotian Medical Technology Co., Ltd. and Guoke Ion Medical Technology Co., Ltd. jointly signed a cooperation agreement to give full play to the advantages of the three parties, introduce the medical heavy ion accelerator project developed by the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and build the first heavy ion tumor treatment center in Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay District in Shenzhen, Deeply cooperate in the promotion and application of domestic high-end medical equipment to achieve win-win development.

The Heavy Ion Tumor Treatment Center has settled in the Loucun Health Industrial Park in Guangming District, Shenzhen. Tong Haitao, Executive Director of Shenzhen Daotian Medical Technology Co., Ltd., stated that this cooperation marks the settlement of the largest independently developed medical equipment in China in the Greater Bay Area, which will greatly improve the medical and health level of the Greater Bay Area.

It is reported that tumor radiation therapy has become one of the fastest-growing sub industries in the field of medical devices and related services. Heavy ion therapy is considered the most accurate, efficient, and safe radiation therapy method at present, with minimal damage to healthy tissues, minimal side effects, short course of treatment, and high cure rate. It is particularly suitable for the treatment of difficult to treat tumors such as unsuitable for surgery and insensitivity to conventional radiation. The Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has cooperated with the hospital to complete the preclinical trial study of 213 tumor patients, and has achieved remarkable results, becoming the first institution in China and the fourth in the world to master the clinical treatment technology of heavy ions.
