ECCO - Calendar of events

MIRO (Molecular Imaging in Radiation Oncology)

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

dates: 18 - 20 March 2010
location: Brussels, Belgium
organizer: ESTRO
Molecular imaging is also being evaluated for its ability to help define target volumes for radiotherapy by introducing the biological component of tumour and normal tissues. Such an approach could potentially lead to delivering a more adequate dose to some part of the target volume, thus paving the way to the concept of “dose painting”. And this is just the beginning with many more challenges ahead of us! In this thrilling environment, the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Association for Nuclear Medicine (EANM) have the pleasure to invite you to participate to the first MOLECULAR IMAGING IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY (MIRO) meeting that will be held in Brussels (Belgium) on the 18th -20th March 2010. With major emphasis on MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND INNOVATION, this conference will more specifically cover the following topics: • Methodological approaches in Molecular Imaging • Molecular imaging to decipher tumour biology • New tracers: beyond FDG • Molecular imaging to personalize treatment in oncology • State of the art and future prospects in the clinical use of molecular imaging in radiation oncology • Molecular Imaging radiation dose painting The format o€f the conference will combine “state of the art lectures”, lectures on innovative approaches, and proffered papers. Ample time will be given for discussions to allow in-depth interactions among the various disciplines and the participants. It is hoped that the mix of a rich and challenging scientific programme, and the never ending attraction of the city of Brussels will convince you to attend this conference on MOLECULAR IMAGING IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY.

At present, novel therapies are being designed against proteins encoded by genes that are genetically or epigenetically altered in cancer or against components that mediate their biological function. In this promising setting, gaining knowledge on the complete set of tumour suppressor genes implicated in cancer development as well as the understanding of their biological role and the interconnection with other biochemical pathways is essential. The main goals of this workshop are to discuss novel findings in our understanding of the biological pathways to which tumor suppressor are involved, advances in clinical management of cancer families and identification of novel tumor suppressors.
