The FRPT 2024 conference took place from December 4th to 6th 2024, bringing together leading researchers and clinicians dedicated to tackling oncology’s toughest challenges. The event highlighted cutting-edge advancements in radiotherapy, including spatial fractionation of dose, accelerated dose delivery, and particle therapy—innovations that have gained traction in recent years for their potential to minimise normal tissue damage while effectively targeting tumors.

Despite these promising breakthroughs, the field still faces significant research questions, ranging from basic science discoveries to translational studies and clinical trials. The conference served as an essential platform for collaboration and knowledge-sharing, fostering multidisciplinary discussions among medical physicists, dosimetrists, clinicians, and other experts committed to revolutionising cancer treatment.
