The « Tumour Targeting, Imaging, Radiotherapies” network of the Cancéropôle Grand-Ouest is pleased to announce its nineteenth international workshop.
from the 23rd to 26th of September 2026 in
Saint-Jacut de la Mer, West of France.
This workshop 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.
The 2026 edition will highlight two key areas of development in tumour targeting, imaging and radiotherapies, Theranostic and Digital twins, which offer numerous opportunities for innovation. Other cutting-edge research areas will also be covered, including the development of antibody-drug conjugates, alpha radiation dosimetry and the side effects of radiation.
