    Abstract:
    Considering intracranial tumours, only few indications of protontherapy, such as chordoma, chondrosarcoma or uveal melanoma, are uniformly approved in the world. Other indications, excluding paediatric pathologies, are still debated. The aim of this article is to describe the rationale for the use of protonbeam irradiation for meningioma, pituitary adenoma, craniopharyngioma, paraganglioma, glioma, and schwannoma, and to inform the radiation oncologists if prospective studies or randomized studies are opened for inclusions. This article deals only with indications for adults.
