The role of this activity reviews growing indications for radiation therapy for liver cancer, educates providers on radiation therapy options (SBRT, particle therapy) and the potential impact of hepatic reserve capacity on decision making, explores challenges and opportunities for clinical trials

Pancreato-biliary cancers, mainly pancreatic cancer and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, are almost uniformly fatal malignancies with increasing incidence and poor prognosis even when diagnosed in the early stages of the disease.

Modern treatment options such as radiotherapy dose intensification (EBRT boost, brachytherapy or Papillon technique) or additional chemotherapy in total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancers have been shown to improve rectal preservation rates better than ever before.

The ultimate goal of radiation oncology research is to improve clinical care. As a specialty, we tackle diverse research questions, addressing every type of cancer and encompassing cancer biology and radiation physics.
