Talk

Technological Advances in Precision Radiation Medicine
Radiation therapy is the original precision targeted cancer treatment. Major advances in medical imaging and exquisite radiation dose sculpting technologies have dramatically increased physical precision of radiation therapy. This presentation summarizes current state-of-the-art and emerging advances leading to new levels of physical and biological precision in cancer radiation therapy.

Session Abstract – PMWC 2018 Silicon Valley

Session Synopsis: Recent advancements in engineering, molecular biology, imaging and machine learning are posed to revolutionize radiotherapy and improve the outcome in cancer patients. We will review the growing body of evidence on radiation technology development, imaging-based radiotherapy, prognostic biomarkers of radiosensitivity/radioresistance, and the benefits of combining immunooncology with radiotherapy.
