DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Yolanda Prezado (Instituto Curie\, New Approaches in
  Radiotherapy (NARA))\nThe therapeutic use of ionizing radiation has been 
 largely guided by the goal of directly eliminating all cancer cells while 
 minimizing the toxicity to adjacent tissues. Nowadays\, technological adva
 nces in radiation delivery\, including image guidance and particle therapy
  (i.e. proton therapy)\, have notably improved tumor dose conformation\, t
 hus reducing the dose to the organs-at-risk.  Despite remarkable advanceme
 nts\, the dose tolerances of normal tissues continue to be the main limita
 tion in RT and still compromise the treatment of some radioresistant tumor
 s\, tumors close to a sensitive structure (e.g. central nervous system (CN
 S)) and pediatric cancer. One possible way to overcome this limitation is 
 to employ new modes of radiation dose deposition that activate biological 
 processes different from those in standard radiotherapy. Some examples are
  FLASH therapy\, the spatial fractionation of the dose or the use of very 
 high energy electrons. This lecture will give a general overview about the
 se strategies.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/5983/contributions/13634
