Practical and Theoretical Radiotherapy Physics Courses
Course overview
This course provides practical and theoretical education for the support of a modern radiotherapy physics service within radiotherapy.
It is aimed primarily at recently qualified radiotherapy physicists, but should also be invaluable to post-graduate students, researchers, clinical oncologists, engineers, radiographers, manufacturers’ representatives and in fact, anyone needing to deepen or update their understanding of this rapidly evolving field.
The faculty is composed of physicists, clinicians and radiographers, many of whom are internationally renowned for their expertise. Workshops and demonstrations make full use of the facilities of the Radiotherapy and Physics Departments of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. The course content is reviewed annually to reflect changes in practice and technology.

New cancer test could predict, up to 10 years in advance, when treatment will be needed
Scientists have developed a new test that can decode when someone’s cancer first started growing and how fast it is growing, potentially allowing doctors to accurately predict when a patient will need treatment.

The ICR and The Royal Marsden team up with PureGym to support men with advanced prostate cancer to be more active
The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust have teamed up with Sir Chris Hoy and PureGym to launch a collaboration to encourage men with prostate cancer to be more active.

Subtle chemical tweak helps determine whether cells grow, potentially affecting cancer risk
Researchers have discovered a tiny chemical switch inside our cells that helps control whether they keep dividing or stop for good – a finding that could influence future cancer therapies and deepen our understanding of ageing.
