Prostate Cancer Symposium | Universitätsklinikum Freiburg

Dear colleagues, dear patients,

we are delighted to invite you to the Radiation Therapy in Prostate Cancer - Symposium in Freiburg, Germany.

Diagnostics and treatment in prostate cancer have experienced tremendous changes and new therapeutic options have emerged in recent years. Focusing on these advances, the symposium will be a platform to discuss current trends and state-of-the-art techniques in radiotherapy of primary prostate cancer. Experts will also share insights into modern approaches in the management of recurrent and metastatic disease. The strength of interdisciplinary patient care will be highlighted by our colleagues and collaborators from Urology, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiology, who will present updates on new hormonal agents, systemic treatment options, radioligand therapy, and diagnostic options. Additionally, we will discuss opportunities provided by artificial intelligence and how they allow physicians to further improve and personalize treatments.

Join the multidisciplinary panel of national and international specialists and key opinion leaders, participate in lively discussions, and present your own research in the poster sessions. These new insights will help to improve care for our patients everywhere.

Simon Spohn, MD
