Location: Bad Honnef, Germany

Physics has transformed cancer medicine, not only through the development of imaging and treatment techniques based on physical principles, but also by providing a deeper physical understanding of the epidemiology, growth, and spread of cancer. The school "Medical physics for image-guided cancer therapy” is designed for students and young researchers in physics, (bio-)engineering, and computational sciences who wish to expand their knowledge of physics as applied to cancer medicine. In particular, it is meant to target students pursuing their master studies and PhD doctoral researchers. Topics covered will span the arc from the physical principles of living systems and physics of cancer to the physics of imaging for better cancer diagnosis as well as the physics and technology of cancer treatment. The expert lecturers will review the evolution and current state of the art of physics in cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment. At the end of the week the participants will have a good overview of the field of medical physics, its active research areas, and they will have made connections with some key players in the field. This can help them to decide if medical physics could become a career path for them. Participants already in medical physics will gain insights into other areas in the field.
