title: A networking for patient recruitment: the experience of choroidal melanoma.
abstract: The organization of a networking for patient recruitment is a main concern for a new facility using charged particles. The experience of choroidal melanoma in Nice demonstrates the possibility to create "de novo" a protontherapy center treating a sufficient number of patients. The influence of the opening of new facilities is analyzed.
