Good news came from Lanzhou at the beginning of the year: The Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with the Lanzhou Military Region General Hospital and Gansu Provincial Tumor Hospital, provided 100MeV/u carbon ion beams with the Lanzhou Heavy Ion Accelerator, a national scientific facility, to treat patients with shallow tumors. Conducted clinical treatment trials.

　　 At present, the patient’s tumor has completely disappeared or significantly shrunk, and there are no obvious local and systemic adverse reactions, and no recurrence or metastasis has been found. Up to now, the total number of patients treated has reached 82.

At the same time, the radiation biological effects research group of the Institute of Modern Physics also conducted animal experiments on the mechanism of tumorigenesis, and confirmed the key role of heterozygous genes in the tumorigenesis process from multiple biological pathways, enriching the mechanism of tumorigenesis understanding.

　　 Industry experts said that cancer has become the number one killer threatening human life, but the cure rate is extremely low. The clinical trials of the Institute of Modern Physics undoubtedly provide new methods and paths for tumor diagnosis and treatment, and bring hope to tumor patients.

　　The "Heavy Ion Cancer Treatment Clinical Trial" of the Institute of Modern Physics was therefore selected as "Top Ten Events Affecting Lanzhou". "Lanzhou Heavy Ion Accelerator Cooling and Storage Ring Completed and Put into Operation" and "Large Sky Area Multi-Object Optical Fiber Spectroscopic Astronomical Telescope (LAMOST) Completed"-two news related to the Chinese Academy of Sciences' large scientific installation projects were also selected as "2008 China Top Ten Basic Research News".

　　Bai Chunli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and executive vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told the Outlook News Weekly that many major scientific discoveries and technological inventions, including technological advancement, depend on the foundation provided by some large scientific installations. The construction of large scientific installations. It will undoubtedly greatly promote the improvement of China's original innovation capabilities.
