CHAIRMAN RECEPTION COMMITTEE:
Currently, image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) is the ‘buzz word’
in the field of Brachytherapy. Recent developments in imaging,
its successful incorporation in treatment planning, optimization
and clinical outcome is emerging. Guidelines and position papers
are important but each milieu will have its own limitations and
solutions.
The aim of this conference is to strengthen the skill and art of
Brachytherapy in this emerging era of technology for basic
training and continuing professional development across clinical
oncologists,
radiation
oncologists,
medical
physicists
and
radiographers. Also, it is equally important to customize and
adopt
available
technology
and
facilities
to
strengthen
brachytherapy across different sites. During the deliberations,
we will try to provide comprehensive information on current
clinically relevant brachytherapy practice, replete with recent
evidence and research avenues.

People and ideas are always on the move and therefore we will
have an incredible gathering of national and international
faculty sharing their clinical experience to refine practice.
We look forward to welcoming you to this conference as knowledge
and interactions are essential to standardize basic brachytherapy
practice across cultural diversities in different parts of the
world.
Best wishes
Dr. Partha Dasgupta
