	As part of the Kanagawa "Challenge-10-year strategy to cancer" it was decided in March 2005 to establish a carbon-ion therapy system at the Kanagawa Cancer Center (KCC). From around 2009, the basic design and the foundational planning of the facility were considered and in January 2012 a contract was made with the Toshiba Corp. In December of the same year, construction of the main building for the acceleration and treatment devices has been started and completed in October 2014. Currently, the KCC is in a commissioning phase with the aim to start treatment in December this year. Various treatments for cancer, which include four present photon LINAC for the radiation therapy, will be provided to patients in cooperation with our cancer center hospital. In addition, we will combine a compact dissemination treatment system of carbon-ion therapy to the pencil beam 3D scanning technique designed by the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS). The treatment experience with the carbon-ion scanning technique is expected to be the second in the country following NIRS. In this presentation, we will report on the progress of the beam commissioning of the scanning system.
