Novel Treatments in Radiation Therapy

Submit Abstract Register Now

The standard localized therapies for cancer include external-beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy. There are several novel approaches in development aimed at improving local disease control and survival, and reducing post-treatment complications. In low-to-intermediate-risk patients, new radiation approaches are being explored to include hypofractionated robotic radiation therapy. For high-risk patients, the focus is on multimodality approaches, especially the addition of chemotherapy.
