• In 90’ years INFN supported TERA in R&D project.
• INFN, in collaboration with University of Catania, realized in
its laboratory (Lab. Naz. Del Sud) the first Italian
protontherapy facility.
• INFN has UNIQUE capability in Italy in accelerators
development.
• Considering its particular features, INFN was involved in
CNAO to guarantee the necessary expertise.
• In 2005 INFN was encharged by Health Minister to produce
a document about protontherapy in our country.
In Catania we developed a
facility
(named CATANA)
for the treatment of ocular
tumours with 62 AMeV proton
beams

characterized in terms of spatial resolution, energy or
fluence dependence to be used in protontherapy.

Centro di protonterapia nell’area di Catania
Le parti si impegnano ad effettuare le verifiche di ordine programmatico e
tecnico-sanitario ai fini della realizzazione di un centro di protonterapia
nell’area di Catania, in conformità alle indicazioni contenute in un recente
studio dell’AIRO (Associazione Italiana di Radioterapia Oncologica)
nell’ambito della nascente rete italiana dei centri di adroterapia e ad
individuare le fonti finanziarie cui attingere per la relativa copertura.

In 2002, the First Italian Protontherapy Facility Funded by INFN
and Catania University started in Catania at INFN-Laboratori
Nazionali del Sud
In 2003, the 5th Scientific Commission of INFN funded SCENT, an
R&D project studying a Superconducting Cyclotron for Medical
Applications
On March 7th 2003 Sicilian Region has approved to realize an
HadronTherapy Center in Catania, based on a Cyclotron for
protons and heavy charge particles. It has to be realized as
“Scientific collaboration between Region, INFN and University of
Catania also open to private contributions”
SCENT
“A New Cyclotron for Hadron Therapy”
Superconducting Cyclotron for Exotic Nuclei and Therapy
February 2003: the 5th CSN-INFN approve SCENT experiment
March 2003: the Sicily region, inside its developing plane for the
health, decided to include the realization of a centre for
hadrotherapy in Catania area
April 2006: contact between IBA and INFN to find out a
collaboration agreement
July 2006: agreement of cooperation between IBA and INFN for
marketing and construction of a SCENT Cyclotron
Whyproposing
proposingaacyclotron?
cyclotron?
Why
• A vast majority of the tumors treated in MGH, Chiba or GSI do
not require the very highest energy of a synchrotron
• The minority of tumours located too deep to be treated in
Carbon (Prostate, Uterus) could also be treated with lighter
ions such as Helium or Protons
• A cyclotron offers the best beam current control for ultra-fast
pencil beam scanning
• The cyclotron is a much simpler machine, with most of the
parameters constants. It does not require a large team of Ph.
D. physicists to operate
• A cyclotron is significantly smaller (6 m vs. 20 m in diameter)
and significantly less costly than the synchrotron.
