Description

Microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) was proposed as a novel RT paradigm for treating cancer some time ago. However, progress has been slow and it is unclear when or if human cancers will be treated with synchrotron radiation. There are numerous biological, medical, technical, regulatory and ethical issues to consider before a human is subjected to synchrotron MRT. This talk will give an overview of the issues that are being, and still need to be, addressed. Latest data from the current AS/IMBL MRT program will also be presented.
