Presenters will typically present the results of IRB-approved studies conducted throughout the year that focus on monitoring and analyzing the outcomes of patients who have received radiotherapy at UF. There are also presentations by faculty that are broad overviews of certain disease systems, and what role radiotherapy can and should play in treatment of the condition.
