Description
The radiotherapy in Poland has its long and rich history and following lecture is focused on
exploring its rudiments from late 1890s until first decades after Second World War. Main centres of radiology and radiotherapy with names of physicians pioneering in that field are shortly described. How the possibilities and needs of the emerging radiotherapy were perceived in the medical community? How plans and goals for the future were articulated? And how has the prospect of research and therapeutic opportunities changed over the years? These questions are only an invitation to a wider discussion. It should be remembered, that past and tradition of radiotherapy in Poland are far more extended and that is why this presentation should be seen only as a general introduction to its history.
