🤍 We remember Professor Ann Barrett not only for her visionary leadership, but for her kindness, warmth, and deep dedication to our community. Ann was ESTRO Past President (1997–1999) and a committed contributor to the ESTRO School.

She helped shape advances in radiotherapy, championed structured training, and left a lasting mark on education and patient care across our field, all while inspiring those around her with her generosity and spirit.

🕯️ Her legacy lives on in those she inspired: https://bit.ly/3R85ADH

🗣️ Join the debate session! Can reirradiation outcomes truly be improved without deeper radiobiological insight?

Be part of the discussion at :
“This house believes that reirradiation outcomes can only be improved with radiobiologic insights.”

As reirradiation becomes more common in clinical practice, experts will debate whether advancing outcomes depends primarily on radiobiology—or if other factors can drive progress.

📅 Sunday, May 17 | 08:45–10:00
📍 Room T1 | Radiobiology Track

Chairs: Anna Dubrovska (Germany), Franziska Eckert (Austria)

Debate lineup:
⚖️ For the motion: Laure Marignol (Ireland)
⚖️ Against the motion: Ane Appelt (Denmark)
🔁 Rebuttals: Bartłomiej Tomasik (Poland) & Piotr Wojcieszek (Poland)

Will radiobiology be the key driver—or just one piece of the puzzle? Share your perspective 👇
