We are pleased to announce that the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiation Oncology will host its first Proton Therapy Symposium on May 5, 2022. During this one-day live stream event, we will engage our audience in enriching dialogue covering topics such as creative dosimetry through beam modeling and craniospinal irradiation techniques. The symposium features experts from various specialties who will speak to our 60 years of proton therapy experience and share insight on practical applications of proton therapy for commonly treated disease sites in adults and children. We welcome practitioners from all specialties and backgrounds, including radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, therapists, nursing, and trainees.
