Imaging is critical to each step of precision radiation therapy, i.e. planning, setup, delivery and assessment of response. Hadrontherapy can be considered to deliver more precise dose distribution that may better spare normal tissues from intermediate low doses of radiation. In addition, hadrontherapy using high linear energy transfer ions may...

Considering intracranial tumours, only few indications of protontherapy, such as chordoma, chondrosarcoma or uveal melanoma, are uniformly approved in the world. Other indications, excluding paediatric pathologies, are still debated. The aim of this article is to describe the rationale for the use of protonbeam irradiation for meningioma,...

Among over 100 proton therapy centres worldwide in operation or under construction, French proton therapy is coming to full maturity with the recent opening of the Nice (1991, upgrade in 2016) and Caen (2018) facilities next to the Orsay (1991, upgrade in 2010) centre. Proton therapy is a national priority for children and young adults in all...
