Abstract: Being a challenge to modern medicine, cancer endangers people’s health. Radiotherapy is one of the most successful means to treat cancer. Owing to their advantages in physics and biology, heavy ions have become the optimal particles used in radiotherapy. The features of heavy ion therapy are described, and several hot topics in medical physics and radiobiology are discussed in detail.
