The IAEA held the International Conference on Advances in Radiation Oncology (ICARO) in Vienna on 27-29 April 2009. The Conference dealt with the issues and requirements posed by the transition from conventional radiotherapy to advanced modern technologies, including staffing, training, treatment planning and delivery, quality assurance (QA) and the optimal use of available resources. The current role of advanced technologies (defined as 3-dimensional and/or image guided treatment with photons or particles) in current clinical practice and future scenarios were discussed.ICARO was organized by the IAEA at the request of the Member States and co-sponsored and supported by other international organizations to assess advances in technologies in radiation oncology in the face of economic challenges that most countries confront. Participants submitted research contributions, which were reviewed by a scientific committee and presented via 46 lectures and 103 posters. There were 327 participants from 70 Member States as well as participants from industry and government. The ICARO meeting provided an independent forum for the interaction of participants from developed and developing countries on current and developing issues related to radiation oncology.
国际原子能机构于 2009 年 4 月 27 日至 29 日在维也纳举行了国际放射肿瘤学进展会议（ICARO）。会议讨论了从传统放射治疗向先进现代技术过渡所带来的问题和需求，包括人员配备、培训、治疗计划和实施、质量保证（QA）以及充分利用现有资源等问题。会议还讨论了先进技术（定义为使用光子或粒子的三维和/或图像引导治疗）在当前临床实践和未来应用场景中的作用。
应成员国的要求，国际原子能机构组织了此次会议，其他国际组织也共同赞助和支持了此次会议，以评估放射肿瘤学领域技术的最新进展，应对大多数国家面临的经济挑战。会议参与者提交了研究报告，这些报告由科学委员会进行了评审，并通过 46 次演讲和 103 份海报进行了介绍。来自 70 个成员国的 327 名参与者以及来自工业界和政府的代表参加了会议。ICARO 会议为发达国家和发展中国家的参与者就与放射肿瘤学相关的当前和正在出现的问题进行互动提供了一个独立的论坛。
