The ninth annual multidisciplinary symposium on clinical oncology
organized by the Royal College of Radiologists was jointly arranged
with the International Society for Radiation Oncology. It was held
in London in February 1987 and discussed the biological and
clinical basis of the effects of radiotherapy. Wherever possible
lectures by an experimental scientist were paired with those of a
clinical scientist in order to emphasize clinical relevance. It is
hoped that this has resulted in a widely balanced view of the
subject. The volume presents an updated version of these subjects
based on those talks. After surgery, radiotherapy is the main
treatment used in the management of patients with cancer. Its
empirical success when first introduced is now backed up by a
wealth of laboratory, clinical and experimental experience. New
techniques for adminis tering the conventional X-ray therapy have
been supplemented by methods which can be used to modify the
radiation response. These include changes in dose rate or
fractionation, and combined modality treatments including
sensitization by drugs or heat. Other types of radiation, such as
neutrons and other particles, are also now available which have
enhanced physical and biological advantages.
