The Art of Radiotherapy: What Unusual Patients Have Taught Me

Daily practice is guided by clinical evidence from well-conducted trials on significant samples representing the majority of the cases. But what should we do when faced with an exceptional case that doesn’t fit the studied populations? How far should we go? What risks should we take? There are many questions, and just as many uncertainties.

In this symposium, Professor Mack Roach, a distinguished radiation oncologist and esteemed faculty at UCSF*, and a leading expert in prostate radiotherapy, draws from his exceptional experience shaped by decades of practice. He shares cases of patients he has treated and followed for over 15 years. He delves into the subtle boundary between the rigorous science of radiotherapy and the art of its practice

Through six unique clinical cases, he offers practical solutions—an inspiring blend of confidence, intuition, and experience—always centered on cure, patient well-being, and respect. This symposium is a remarkable opportunity for learning and sharing, demonstrating that radiotherapy is as much an art as it is a science.
