32nd Annual Congress of the German Society for Radiation Oncology (DEGRO)

32nd Annual Congress of the German Society for Radiation Oncology (DEGRO) is organized by German Society for Radiation Oncology e. V / Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Radioonkologie (DEGRO) e. V. and will be held from Jun 25 - 27, 2026 at Congress Center Leipzig, Leipzig, Saxony, Germany.

Topics:
The focus will be on scientific excellence, evidence-based care, and bridging the gap between research, guideline development, and clinical practice. Technological innovations and the role of radiation oncology in a changing healthcare system will also be explored in depth.

Evidence Generation through Clinical Trials
Clinical trials form the backbone of evidence-based medicine. Strategies for promoting the study landscape and integrating them into routine clinical practice are discussed.

Role of radiation oncology in guideline development
The importance of radiation oncological expertise in interdisciplinary guideline processes is increasingly becoming the focus of attention – and with it the responsibility of professional societies.

From the laboratory to the clinic: Interaction between clinical research and radiation/tumor biology
How can findings from radiation biology and tumor research be efficiently translated into clinical application?

Radiotherapy in combination with immunotherapeutics/targeted agents
New treatment strategies and interdisciplinary therapeutic approaches focus on the potential of combined therapies.

Organ and function-preserving, multimodal therapy concepts
Targeted, patient-oriented therapy planning is the focus – with a focus on quality of life and functional preservation.

Online adaptive and image-guided precision radiotherapy
Modern imaging and adaptive concepts enable increasingly individualized and precise therapies – a milestone in precision medicine.

Development lines of AI-based radiotherapy
Artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of the radio-oncology process chain – from planning to follow-up care.

Radiotherapy in the Healthcare Landscape:
What role does radiotherapy play in a changing healthcare system? Topics include healthcare research, accessibility, and cross-sector collaboration.
