Radiation oncology

Description

Chairs: J. Bernier, CH - F.A. Calvo, ES
Host Chair: A. Kuten, IL
Scientific Coordinators: Z. Symon, IL - Y. Belkacemi, FR
Local Committee: A. Kuten, IL - R.L. Pfeffer, IL - R. Bar-Deroma, IL - T. Katzman, IL - F. Atrash, IL



This 3-day ESO course is dedicated to clinical, technical and biological innovations in the management of cancer with emphasis on radiation oncology. Hot topics such as single and hypo-fractionated RT, stereotactic brain and body RT, focal RT, particle RT, radiobiology of hypo-fractionation, SBRT and particle RT, the scientific basis of immunotherapy, combination of RT and immunotherapy and targeted therapies, prediction of response and complications, will be discussed. In addition, local Israeli high-tech achievements and innovations in basic and applied cancer research will be presented.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Update the knowledge in radiobiology, hypofractionated, stereotactic brain and body RT, focal RT, particle RT, the scientific basis of immunotherapy and combined RT - immunotherapy and targeted therapies.
• Become aware of innovative strategies in radiation oncology and combined modality therapy of cancer
• Learn how to incorporate the innovative strategies in daily practice
