The report observes the investigation stage (1954-1990 ys) and the adoption stage into the practical health care after the 1990 of the hadron therapy. At the present time 47 hospital-based multi-cabin proton and 7 ion (mainly, carbon ions are used) centers are operating in the world. About the same number of centers are under construction. It is a common feeling that the hadron therapy is a very effective and often choiceless method of the radiation therapy. The main physicotechnical, already established solutions of the multi-cabin clinical centers construction are discussed, including the used accelerators, the radiation units types, the used environment, IT, etc. In this report the current problems and trends of hardware and technologies development for this treatment method are presented, including proposals to use new types of accelerators, to create one-cabin centers (one accelerator – one treatment unit), procedures how to solve economical problems of this rather expensive treatment method and so on. The 45-ys history of the proton therapy in Russia is briefly recounted, the great contribution of Russian investigators to the problem, and also the existing situation with the implementation of this radiation treatment method into the public health care in our country.
