Proton therapy is recognized as the most effective radiation therapy method for cancers with very high cure rate of 80\%. Superconducting cyclotron becomes an optimum choice for delivering high quality proton beam due to its compactness, low power consuming and high stability. A 250MeV/500nA isochronous superconducting cyclotron was proposed in HUST, and the design and technical considerations on the spiral magnet, the tune optimization, and the beam extraction in high field will be introduces.
