The « Tumour Targeting, Imaging, Radiotherapies” network of the Cancéropôle Grand-Ouest is pleased to announce its 18th international workshop which will take place from the 24th to 27th of September 2025 in Erquy, West of France. The workshop is dedicated to young researchers (PhD students and post-docs) even so experienced researchers are invited to participate.
The 18th international workshop edition will confront the points of view and issues of various research fields such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Medicine, Computer science, involved in the development of molecular and external beam radiotherapies in Oncology.
This year, the focus will be on poor prognosis cancers, which remain a major priority for cancer research. The workshop will highlight how combination treatments and therapeutic associations open up new perspectives. Particular attention will also be given to innovative technologies: Artificial Intelligence to improve radiotherapy dosimetry, the development of new biological targets, and key topics in external beam radiotherapy such as high-dose-rate radiotherapy.
