Abstract
Electron therapy, as a postoperative medium for head and neck cancers, has been used for many years at the Gustave-Roussy Institute in Villejuif. This therapy became possible after an Almis-Chalmers betatron was installed in 1954 and was greatly improved when a Sagittaire linear accelerator was also installed 1972.
