The first clinical trial with a carbon-ion beam generated from HIMAC was conducted in June 1994. Based on more than ten years of experience with HIMAC, a pilot facility of a standard carbon-ion radiotherapy facility in Japan, was constructed at Gunma University. Owing to the successfully operation of the pilot facility, Saga-HIMAT and i-ROCK in Kanagawa have been progressed. In addition, NIRS has developed the new treatment research project for the further development of radiotherapy with, based on the pencil-beam 3D scanning for both the static and moving targets. This treatment procedure has been successfully carried out with a pencil-beam 3D scanning since May 2011. Owing to the development of NIRS 3D scanning, the i-ROCK project decided to employ the NIRS 3D scanning. As a future plan, further, NIRS has developed a superconducting rotating gantry, and we are going to just start a study of a superconducting accelerator for the ion radiotherapy. The recent progress and the future plan of HIMAC for the heavy-ion cancer radiotherapy will be reported.
