The presentations cover the principle physical and biological aspects of radiation therapy and address practical clinical considerations in planning and delivering therapy. The importance of the assessment of uncertainties is emphasized. Topics include: an overview of the physics of the interactions of radiation with matter; the definition of the goals and the design of radiation therapy approaches; proton therapy; living with uncertainty; biophysical models of radiation damage; computer-based optimization of treatments; and the reporting of results.
