4D Workshop - Proton Therapy Center

As a pioneer in radiation oncology and cancer care, MD Anderson has paved the way for more effective radiation therapy around the world. MD Anderson's Proton Therapy Center has treated more than 10,000 patients, published more than 570 manuscripts on proton therapy and leads North America in treating patients with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT).

Please join us for an in person 4D Workshop to hear from global speakers in presentations about new trends in 4D clinical practice, 4D treatment planning, 4D imaging and 4D dosimetry.

For questions or CME information, please contact Rola Georges at RHGeorges@mdanderson.org.
