Basic Clinical Radiobiology 2017

Basic Clinical Radiobiology is organized by European Society for Radiotherapy Oncology (ESTRO) and would be held during Sep 16 - 20, 2017 at Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, Ile-de-France, France.

The target audience for this medical event for Trainees in radiotherapy, Radiation oncologists who lack basic radiobiological science or want to update their knowledge (i.e. for CME), Medical physicists who wish to familiarise themselves with this field, Physicians from other disciplines administering ionising radiation, Radiation therapists (RTTs).

Aim

The aim is to provide an introduction to radiation biology as applied to radiotherapy. It will cover the basic mechanisms of cell death/survival and the radiation response of tumours and normal tissues.

Objectives

• Understand the biology of how ionising radiation is able to effectively treat cancer
• Distinguish radiotherapy and its advantages from other cancer therapies
• Have the essential knowledge of radiobiology necessary for qualifying examination
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
