Radiother Oncol. 2004 Dec:73 Suppl 2:S15-7. doi: 10.1016/s0167-8140(04)80005-7.

Abstract

To estimate the real figure of the potential patient recruitment for hadrontherapy we carried out a survey directly in 5 radiation therapy departments of the East of France as a "one-day survey". The results presented account for 77 cases of potential indications among 532 evaluated medical records.
