We all have witnessed remarkable technological, physical and biological developments in the field of radiation oncology resulting in improved treatment effectiveness and reduced complication rates thanks to the high-precision in tumor identification, localization and dose delivery. However, these improvements in local control and survival do not apply to all clinical situations. A significant percent of oncologic patients still remains hopeless, like those affected by very large, unresectable bulky tumors that are unsuitable for the conventional radio-chemotherapy. These patients are predestined to palliative or best supportive care. From that the need to improve treatment outcomes for this patient population arises.
In order to present and to discuss the currently available data in regard to novel, unconventional radiotherapy techniques, MedAustron is organizing an online seminar that will focus on emerging spatially fractionated radiotherapy approaches with potential to increase the radiation therapeutic ratio. The goal is to bring together leaders in the field to give talks that are experience-focused to foster learning, understanding, inspiration and wonder.
