Key topics for the BiGART conference will include:

  • Biology of tumours and normal tissue to guide patient selection, target volumes and dose prescription in radiotherapy and particle therapy
  • Functional imaging of tumours and normal tissues with functional imaging techniques based on MRI and PET, and the use of such images for dose painting and normal tissue avoidance in radiotherapy and particle therapy
  • Treatment planning and delivery challenges in adaptation of radiotherapy and particle therapy based on changes in tumour and normal tissue biology, anatomy and/or function
  • Clinical outcome of biology-guided and adaptive radiotherapy and particle therapy

The meeting is open for physicians, physicists, radiobiologists and other scientists with an active interest in the area. The format include invited presentations, proffered papers and discussion rounds.

Before the meeting, on June 13th, the ENLIGHT2017 plenary meeting will be held at Aarhus University Hospital in Skejby, also including a visit to the emerging Danish Center for Particle Therapy. ENLIGHT training sessions are planned on June 12th. More information and registration at http://enlight.web.cern.ch/. ENLIGHT participants are invited to participate in the opening reception on the evening of June 13th.
