title: Radiotherapy of non-malignant disorders: where do we stand?
abstract: During a consensus meeting in Nice the role of radiotherapy in benign disorders was discussed. Based on this meeting we categorized the indication into three categories: (A) accepted indication; (B) only accepted in clinical trial; (C) not accepted. The results of this consensus meeting are presented for disorders of the eye, joints and bones, brain and soft tissue.
