Presentation

Over the last decade, radiotherapy has evolved towards a speciality, with the specialist known as a clinical oncologist with a particular qualification in radiotherapy. The multidisciplinary nature of the speciality requires advanced training in various domains. Theoretical knowledge in physics and radiobiology constitute the foundations of modern radiotherapy. At the same time, the biology of tumors must be taught prior to the acquisition of a clinical competence in the various methods of treating cancer.

Added to a basic training (radiophysics, radiobiology, radioprotection, biology of cancer, therapeutic principles, legislation) is an advanced training course relating to oncology in general (epidemiology, prevention, screening, anatomopathology, semiology, diagnostic methods, staging, prognostic factors, therapeutic results), the general principles of the treatment (surgical and medical oncology, palliative care, psychosocial aspects), radiotherapy (methods used according to the disease, applied physics and dosimetric planning, technical aspects techniques of curietherapy, imagery, quality control);

Treatment by cytostatic methods (general and particular indications, applied clinical pharmacology, elaboration and prescription of therapeutic protocols, surveillance and treatment of secondary effects) as well as research in oncology (evaluation of results, applied statistics, participation in therapeutical trials, translateral research).
