• Scientific rationale

    The webinar will face current methodologies to evaluate the sustainability of Hadrontherapy going through the clinical experiences and the ethical aspects. Given that Hadrontherapy is up-to-date addressed to rare tumors, a multidisciplinary collaboration is of utmost importance for its application both for the patients benefit and for Healthcare Systems. The translational research will give the chance to expand the scientific knowledge on the clinical benefits of Hadrontherapy.Moreover National and International Networks and Cooperations are the keys to build clinical evidence for and to maximize the investment for this innovative technology.
