  Can­cer ther­apy using pro­tons and heav­ier ions such as car­bon has demon­strated ad­van­tages over other ra­dio­ther­apy treat­ments. To bring about the next gen­er­a­tion of clin­i­cal fa­cil­i­ties, the re­quire­ments are likely to re­duce the foot­print, ob­tain beam in­ten­si­ties above 1E10 par­ti­cles per spill, and achieve faster ex­trac­tion for more rapid, flex­i­ble treat­ment. This re­view fol­lows the tech­ni­cal de­vel­op­ment of ion ther­apy, dis­cussing how ma­chine pa­ra­me­ters have evolved, as well as trends emerg­ing in tech­nolo­gies for novel treat­ments such as FLASH. To con­clude, the fu­ture prospects of ion ther­apy ac­cel­er­a­tors are eval­u­ated.
