Think hadrom: discovering hadrontherapy within multidisciplinarity

Acquisizione competenze tecnico-professionali:The 1st part focuses on the management of head and neck cancers,with particular regards to particle therapy,currently one of the advanced techniques of radiation therapy.due to the proximity of hnc target volumes to numerous critical structures and the radioresistance of several histologies,nowadays hadrontherapy represents a promising alternative to photon-based therapy.future perspectives will explore the possible combination of systemic therapies and hadrontherapy. The 2nd part introduces the indication of surgery and hadrontherapy as the treatment of chordomas and chondrosarcomas.thanks to its physical and radiobiologic properties,carbon ion radiotherapy may allow dose escalation to tumours while reducing radiation dose to adjacent normal tissues, emerging as a promising strategy for the treatment of a variety of malignancies.topics will also be locoregional approach with systemic treatment and validity of alternative local therapy when surgery or radiotherapy cannot be considered.
