Abstracts   


UKRO is inviting abstract submissions on a wide range of topics dealing with radiotherapy topics as detailed on the submission website.


Please note: All abstracts have to be submitted through the abstract submission website

 These abstracts may be published in the "Clinical Oncology" journal, subject to meeting the following guidelines (download pdf copy here). 

Abstract Content
1. The Abstract should be structured to include clear sections describing the aim of the project, method used, results, and conclusions. Some subjects do not lend themselves to such a structure but they should nevertheless be presented clear and unambiguously.
2. The Abstract should contain adequate data to assess the results and interpret the conclusions in the light of these.
3. It is not sufficient to state in the results’ section that “data will be presented” or similar phrasing.   Such Abstracts will be deemed inadequate for publication.
4. Descriptive accounts of work in progress will not be considered for publication.
5. Abstracts which fail to conform to the above guidelines for publication will not be published. 

Abstract Format
1. The abstract should include no more than 300 words
 2.  Do not include figures, tables and references.
3. Use sentence case for the title (and NOT all capitals).
4. The presenting author should be named first

Non-adherence to these format instructions will result in the abstract not being considered.


Example abstract:

Title
Author A1,  Author B 2             (Author A1is the presenting author)
1 Address of 1st Author
2 Address of 2nd Author

Introduction
Methods

Conclusion

File naming:
Please adopt a file naming convention based on the Surname and Initials of the presenting author.  We need to cross reference them and do not want to receive many identical files called “ukro.doc”!

 Example:     (for presenting author Dr A Acorn)    
                    File name:         acorn-a.doc

More than one submission:
If you submit more than one abstract you would have to go through the submission process twice as you cannot attach more than one file to the same submission.  Please name the abstracts you submit as follows:

Example:          acorn-a1.doc  (1st submission)
                        acorn-a2.doc  (2nd submission)


UKRO is a joint conference of the British Institute of Radiology, the College of Radiographers, the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine and the Royal College of Radiologists.
