✦ Synopsis

The subject of the conference is the use of chemical agents (primarily radiosensitizers, radioprotectors, repair inhibitors and agents which improve tumor oxygenation) to modify the response of tumor and/or normal tissues to the cytotoxic effects of radiation or chemotherapeutic drugs. It will bring together basic scientists in chemistry and biology with clinicians in radiotherapy and chemotherapy and will foster an exchange of information on the status of current research, pointing the way to future efforts and stimulating the design and implementation of new clinical trials.

The program will consist of 8 sessions, including keynote speakers, poster presentations, poster viewing and general discussion. It is also hoped that it may be possible to offer financial assistance to a number of young investigators.
