Oral Scientific Sessions

Oral scientific sessions are 90 minute sessions featuring proffered papers. Presentations by speakers represent current research and new findings in the field of radiation oncology.  Each speaker is given seven minutes to present their abstract followed by a three minute question and answer period. A scientific session may include a discussant to provide a background to frame the presentations, emphasize the key points or provide an alternative point of view of the presented abstracts.

Poster Discussion Sessions

Poster discussions are 90 minute sessions featuring abstracts in poster format. Particular care is taken to ensure each session has an integrated theme. The first 30 - 45 minutes of the session is designated for general poster viewing. The remainder of the session is led by poster discussion moderators, selected for their expertise in the topic area, to compare and contrast the abstracts and to highlight the key points.
