This program provides a comprehensive overview of radiation biology with a particular emphasis on aspects of direct relevance to the practice of radiation oncology. It addresses the molecular and cellular responses to radiation-induced damage that influence cell death in both tumors and normal tissues. Quantitation of radiation effects and the underlying biological basis for fractionation of radiotherapy and dose-response relationships in the clinic are covered in depth. The biological basis for current approaches to improve radiotherapy will be described including novel fractionation schemes, retreatment issues, targeting hypoxia, biological modifiers and combined radiotherapy/chemotherapy. This topic is also offered through the Department of Radiation Oncology to residents in radiation oncology and physics, as well as other radiobiology researchers.
The 67th ASTRO Annual Meeting will be held in San Francisco, September 28 - October 1, 2025. Join us in supporting our trainees and faculty presenting at ASTRO 2025 and celebrating their outstanding achievements.
