Clinical and Experimental Radiobiology Course

Clinical and Experimental Radiobiology is a five-day course, beginning on April 11, 2016 at 9am and ending on April 15, 2016 at 5pm. The registration fees for the five-day course is $350.

This program provides a comprehensive overview of radiation biology with a particular emphasis on aspects of direct relevance to the practice of radiation oncology. It addresses the molecular and cellular responses to radiation-induced damage that influence cell death in both tumors and normal tissues. Quantitation of radiation effects and the underlying biological basis for fractionation of radiotherapy and dose-response relationships in the clinic are covered in depth. The biological basis for current approaches to improve radiotherapy will be described including novel fractionation schemes, retreatment issues, targeting hypoxia, biological modifiers and combined radiotherapy/chemotherapy. This course will offer credits approved by the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada.
