GENERAL INFORMATION
WELCOME LETTER
It is our privilege and great pleasure to invite you to ESTRO 35 that
will take place from 29 April to 3 May 2016 in Turin, Italy.
ESTRO is an interdisciplinary society where radiation oncologists,
medical physicists, biologists, brachytherapists and radiation
therapists aspire to join forces with other organisations in the
oncology field that share ESTRO’s vision of excellence in cancer
treatment. At ESTRO 35, we draw attention to the multidisciplinarity
and interdisciplinary components of our practice, with emphasis
on the new opportunities that they represent for all professionals of
oncology, not only in research but also in the daily care of patients.
The interdisciplinary component of the scientific programme will
include sessions on the following topics:
• Advisory Committee on Radiation Oncology Practice (ACROP)
• Adaptive radiotherapy for coping with anatomical variations:
hope or hype?
• Combining radiotherapy with molecular targeted agents: learning
from successes and failures
• Communication with patients
• Dose painting: those pending issues
• In room adaptive imaging with a focus on MRI
• MR-PET
• Hot topics in SABR: time for randomised clinical trials?
• Modern ART based on functional / biological imaging
• Moving away from 2 Gray: are we ready for a paradigm shift?
• New concepts of tumour radioresistance
