Advancements in GRID, LATTICE and FLASH Radiotherapy Symposium

March 3, 2022
7:45 AM - 4:45 PM
In Conjuntion with the 2022 Radiosurgery Society® Scientific Meeting
Omni La Costa, Carlsbad, CA

AGENDA | REGISTRATION RATES

The symposium will focus on the proposed mechanisms of action and strategies for clinical translation of the novel, unconventional spatial-fractionated and dose-rate modification modalities of GRID, LATTICE and FLASH radiotherapy. Clinical translation sections will focus on developing a consensus approach to clinical utilization and for clinical trial design. A practical planning workshop will be included to walk both inexperienced and experienced users of these modalities through the clinical and physics considerations of delivering these modalities. Mechanisms for synergism of these techniques with other modalities such as immunotherapy, conventionally fractionated radiotherapy, and proton therapy will be discussed.

• Provide a forum for experts and the established working groups on GRID, LATTICE and FLASH radiotherapy to share most current knowledge and new scientific results.
• Define challenges of GRID, LATTICE and FLASH radiotherapy for clinical translation aimed at improving radiation delivery and clinical care.
• Develop clinical studies using GRID, LATTICE and FLASH radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer.
