Conclusion:
futur challenges for particles
• Rationale for particles has long been based on
the alleged clinical benefit provided by the
Bragg peak…
– …along with technical opportunities
(transfert of
cyclotron technology from physics to therapy)
• Modern concepts should be evidence-based in
the contest with sophisticated photon
technologies
• Integral dose could become the « Holly grail »…
