Abstract
We discuss using laser plasma as a source of high-energy ions for the purposes of proton therapy. The research in this direction has been conducted in almost all world leading laser science centers. The approach is based on the efficient ion acceleration observed in laboratory, theory and numerical experiments (in silico) on the high-power laser interaction with matter.
