- Webinar #1 | AAPM Webinar Series on Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT): Clinical Significance, Technical Approaches and Challenges
Overview – A different path to reach high treatment therapeutic ratio
SFRT is an unconventional form of radiation therapy that has recaptured the attention of the field in recent years. Mounting evidence from clinical application and preclinical research has shown that SFRT is unequivocally different from conventional radiation therapy and has the potential of very high therapeutic ratio. Despite of its potential, especially for patients whose cancers cannot be effectively controlled by conventional therapies, SFRT remains largely unused. This webinar series is intended to be a comprehensive overview of SFRT – the history, current status, the potentials, and the challenges.
Speakers: Majid Mohiuddin, Hualin Zhang, Xiaodong Wu, Sha Chang | Moderator: Sha Chang
