Abstract Text

Having dedicated the past 23 years of my career to the topic of tumour-specific radiosensitisation, you may wonder why I am speaking about this being an unachievable radiobiological fantasy.

The answer is that I’m similarly bewildered to find myself in this position.

However, I like a challenge and am looking forward to a lively discussion with my fellow debaters on this important topic, and hoping for some robust contributions from the audience.

What I will say at this very early stage in the proceedings is that every biological intervention has consequences, and too often we only look for the ones we want to see.

See you in Vienna!
