  12. Causes of Local Cancer Failure • The primary cause for local failure is our inability • to deliver a letal dose of radiation to the tumour cells. • The reasons for this include : • We cannot determine the exact location and extend • tumor cells and their route to spread • -Inadequate treatment. • -Proximity of dose limiting normal tissues and organs • (brains stem, optics, lung, gut, etc.) • Less that optimum dose distribution of the radiation • beam used for treatment.

  14. Protons provide superior dose distributions Protons Stop Photons don’t stop The « optimum » dose distribution delivers 100% dose to the tumour target and not to critical normal tissues. Proton beams deliver dose distribution that are more optimum than those from photon beams This should result in improved clinical outcomes when proton beams are used.

  24. Indications for protontherapy in France • Very selective prescription because of the cost and of the weight of the infrastrucutre. Determined by the need of having an high balistic precision.
