In order to implement a hadrontherapy project a well defined partnership is needed. This would support both investment and research. The choice of treatment concept, site, number of gantries and financial issues should be the task to be addressed by a study group. A nodal network of medical centers should be recommended in order to assure the critical number of referrals and implement high quality clinical research trials.
