    The treatment of tumours with charged particles, ranging from protons to "light ions" ( Carbon, Oxygen, Neon) has many advantages, but up to now has been little used because of the absence of facilities. After the successful pioneering work carried out with accelerators built for physics research, machines dedicated to this new radiotherapy are planned or already in construction. The rationale for this new radiotherapy, the high energy accelerators and the beam delivery systems are presented in these two lectures.The lectures on the new radiotherapy, the high energy accelerators and the beam delivery system

    Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire du cyclotron Medicyc, ce pionnier relativement méconnu de la protonthérapie en France qui permit à Nice le premier traitement d'un mélanome de l'oeil au centre Antoine Lacassagne. Fruit d'une étroite collaboration entre l'ingénieur et le médecin et, dès l'origine, dévolu à la radiothérapie des tumeurs et à la production de radio-isotopes médicaux. Aujourd'hui, quelques vingt-cinq ans plus tard, cette protonthérapie connaît un essor considérable dans le monde
