Workshop Poster

Scope

• Dose calculation in cancer treatments: Based on Monte Carlo methods or on the solution of the three-dimensional transport equation.
• Treatment optimization: The objective function will have some restrictions provided by the oncologist in each particular case.
• Tumor behavior modeling when treated with radiotherapy: By using image treatment algorithms (image guidance in radiotherapy IGRT) or by using new optimization methods based on biological data (biologically guided radiotherapy BGRT).

The objective of this 2nd Workshop Radiotherapy and Mathematics is to continue the collaborations started in the first edition and to have an idea-sharing session with relevant research groups in mathematics and members of the hospital community on radiotherapy treatment modeling. The Workshop will consist of presentations of different models used to simulate the tumor behavior in this type of treatments, numerical techniques used to resolve these models, the most important challenges in this field and possible transference of these results.
