Abstract

Investigations in hadron therapy having been carried out since 1953 proved its efficiency in treatment of oncological diseases and made it possible to be applicated in clinical practice (since 1990). 16 hospital based proton therapy facilities (PTF) function and 15 ones are currently under construction worldwide. Before 1990 Russia was one of the leading countries in development of proton therapy. But due to political and economical cataclysms in 1990s became behind other countries in radiation therapy application and in proton therapy particularly. Just in 2005 the Moscow mayor made a decision to construct the first Russian PTF based on the Botkin Hospital (for the second time, the first was in 1997, some months before the default in Russia). The project of this PTF describing briefly in the report is currently undergoing the appraisal in Moscow Committee of the State Project Appraisal.
