This webinar explores the biological and radiobiological principles behind the synergy between hyperthermia and radiotherapy. It covers molecular mechanisms — including hyperthermia's radiosensitising effects, inhibition of DNA damage repair, improved tumour oxygenation and perfusion, and modulation of the tumour microenvironment.

Chairs

1. Sergio Curto, Assistant Professor, Erasmus MC Rotterdam (NL) 
2. Martin Dolezel, Professor, University Hospital Olomouc (CZ)

 

Panellists

1. Arlene Oei, Assistant Professor, Lab. for Experimental Oncology and Radiobiology / Department of Radiation Oncology, Amsterdam UMC (NL)
2. Udo Gaipl, Head of Translational Radiobiology, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen (DE)
