SYMPOSIUM Palliation in RT - How much is enough? 09:15 - 10:30 | Brown 2

In this interdisciplinary session, the role of palliative radiotherapy will be discussed and special focus will be set on patient selection criteria and how to choose different radiation techniques and dose schedules. Moreover, an overview of beneficial indications for single fraction treatment in palliation will be discussed. The radiation therapists’ role in this field including the knowledge and experience required to conduct palliative radiotherapy planning and their relationship with patients referred to palliative radiotherapy will also be addressed. Finally, the importance of individual radiosensitivity including the risk of adverse tissue reactions and reliable predictive assays will be presented.

Chair: P. Hoskin (United Kingdom) Co-chair: J. Cacicedo (Spain)
