"Closing the Loop – Clinical Research
in Prostate Cancer Radiotherapy"

Dr. Peter Chung

In this very interesting talk Dr. Chung discussed a variety of topics
related to Radiotherapy including:

* Clinical research in the past that has lead to our current standards of treatment

* Controversies in radiotherapy management of the disease

* How research helps to define new questions that in turn generate more research

* Why everyone should consider themselves a part of the research community,

striving to improve treatment and outcomes in prostate cancer.

In addition Dr. Chung reviewed the clinical research that is
ongoing in the radiotherapy department at Princess Margaret Hospital.
Radiotherapy continues to evolve and improve due to this
ongoing research. The goal ultimately is to have the best treatment
result with the minimum of side effects. A combination of simultaneous
Cat Scans and highly focused beam radiation work together,
to ensure that radiation is accurately delivered to the area affected.
