2010 Radiation Oncology Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：放射肿瘤学戈登研究会议（GRC）涵盖了电离辐射治疗效果的生物学基础，重点是将基础研究的新进展转化为患者。虽然会议的大部分内容将包括基础科学，但计划将基础研究与人类癌症治疗的主要问题联系起来，特别是放射治疗的作用。这次会议是唯一的戈登会议，直接处理这一主要的癌症治疗方式。此外，这是唯一的专门会议，这种格式，解决放射肿瘤学的基础科学问题。因此，它对该领域的科学活力至关重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Radiation Oncology covers the biological basis of the therapeutic effects of ionizing radiation, with emphasis on translating new developments in basic research to the patient. Although much of the content of the conference will include basic science, the plan is to relate basic research to major issues in human cancer treatment, and in particular the role of radiation therapy. This conference is the only Gordon conference that deals directly with this major cancer treatment modality. Furthermore, it is the only specialized meeting of this format that addresses basic science questions in Radiation Oncology. As such, it is of critical importance to the scientific vigor of the field.
