15th international Wolfsberg meeting on molecular radiation biology / oncology 20-22 June 2017 | Ermatingen, Switzerland The 15th international Wolfsberg meeting provided a platform to discuss the latest aspects of DNA repair and signalling; the influence of micro-environmental parameters on radiation response of tumour and normal tissue; and biomarkers and interventional strategies in radiation oncology at the level of basic mechanisms and clinical perspectives. The meeting brought together 150 participants, both experienced and young, including basic and clinical scientists from the disciplines of molecular and cell biology, tumour and normal tissue biology, and radiobiology and radiation oncology. As the number of participants for each meeting is restricted, participation is based on the quality of the submitted abstract, which is judged by a large scientific committee.

International Conference on Advances in Radiation Oncology (ICARO 2) 20–23 June 2017 | Vienna, Austria The conference gave healthcare professionals an opportunity to review the current developments in clinical applications in the fields of radiation oncology, radiation biology and medical physics, with a view to addressing the challenge of cancer management. The conference aimed at defining the current role and future potential of technological, medical physics and molecular/biological innovations for their incorporation into routine clinical practice in radiation oncology.
