As one of the most advanced tumor radiotherapy technologies in the world, proton therapy, with its unique "Bragg peak" characteristic, can accurately concentrate radiation dose on the tumor target area. With the advantages of "precision, non invasiveness, and low side effects", it has become the preferred method for the treatment of complex and pediatric tumors. However, proton therapy equipment has the characteristics of large device scale, complex technology, and high difficulty in operation, maintenance, and clinical application. At present, the global proton therapy equipment market has long been monopolized by foreign manufacturers. In cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Advanced Research, and the Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, under the support of the new Shanghai War Project and the key research and development plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China, Shanghai APACTRON Particle Equipment Co., Ltd. has successfully developed a 360 ° rotating beam treatment room integrating CBCT, pencil beam scanning and other functions. Since the start of the testing work in November 2024, the North Inspection Institute has established a special testing team, which lasted for 4 months and invested a total of 107 people to complete the full chain testing work including electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, and performance verification. Dean Xu stated in his speech: "This test not only verifies the stability and safety of the equipment in complex clinical environments, but also lays a solid foundation for the clinical application of domestically produced proton therapy systems. It is an important milestone in the process of high-end medical equipment localization in China 
The Shanghai APACTRON Particle Equipment Co., Ltd.360 ° rotary therapy system that passed the test has a localization rate of over 90% for its core components, breaking the industry pattern of long-term dependence on imports. After being officially put into use, it will significantly reduce treatment costs and further reduce patient waiting time. This cooperation also provides a replicable demonstration sample for the collaborative innovation of medical device "industry university research testing and application", marking an important leap from "following" to "running in parallel" in China's journey of high-end medical equipment localization. With the official launch of the 360 ° rotation therapy system, Shanghai APACTRON Particle Equipment Co., Ltd. will become the only manufacturer with comprehensive proton therapy solutions including fixed beam, 180 ° rotation beam, 360 ° rotation beam, etc. In the future, Shanghai APACTRON Particle Equipment Co., Ltd. will continue to work hard to provide customized proton therapy solutions for more domestic and foreign clinical experts, benefiting more cancer patients.
