Hadron therapy is a state-of-the-art radiotherapy technique that uses proton or ion beams to target tumoral cells, while sparing surrounding healthy tissues from unwanted radiation. To achieve best results, it requires complex systems, called gantries, that rotate around the patient, carrying magnets that guide the hadron beams precisely onto tumors. Unfortunately, these are usually massive and costly machines, which represent a limiting factor for the spread of the treatment technique.
