Proton Therapy Center : 2nd National Education Conference

The goal of the Proton Therapy Center Education Conference is to update physicians, managed care directors, nurses, social workers and other healthcare professionals on the recent advances, current treatment modalities, and clinical trials in radiation oncology using proton therapy for the treatment of cancer.

This conference will provide participants with information about the clinical effectiveness of proton therapy and the different targeted therapies and radiotherapeutic approaches in order to assess which intervention would be most appropriate for patients with different cancer diagnoses and solid tumors. This conference will address the appropriate sequence for chemotherapy/surgical/radiological intervention for solid tumors into proton therapy treatment plans. With this information, participants will be able to assess and treat solid tumors, appropriately refer patients for proton therapy and improve patient care by using novel targeted therapies and proton beam therapy that can reduce normal tissue damage and complications.
