speakers, proffered papers and exhibits.
Radiologists attending the event will
enjoy presentations by keynote speakers
Dr Russell Fritz, Professor Fiona Gilbert,
Professor Meng Law and Dr Claude
Sirlin as well as international guest
speaker Associate Professor Mahesh

will focus on the management of head
and neck, genitourinary and breast
cancers, as well as the emerging role of
immunotherapies used in combination
with radiotherapy.
Lecture topics have been carefully
chosen to be applicable to a wide range
of subspecialists and generalists alike.
Presentations will be offered in a variety
of formats including opportunities
for audience interaction and mock
multidisciplinary sessions featuring
leading surgeons and pathologists.
