Para-spinal tumours

Thoracic or abdominal tumours close to the spine and not very mobile, may also be an indication of proton therapy.

If considered, this indication should be discussed on the basis of a complete medical file during a specialized Multidisciplinary Consultation Meeting (MCM).

Treatment for adults
Once the indication has been validated during a Multidisciplinary Consultation Meeting (MCM), the proton therapy treatment course includes a treatment preparation phase and a series of irradiation sessions.
