The SIOP Europe Radiation Oncology Working Group is already existing since 4 years and gathers round 400 members: Radiation oncologists, physicists and radiotherapists.

We organize a full day of exchange during the 5th SIOP Europe Annual Meeting, which will take place in Milan 13-17 May. Tuesday, May 14th, will be dedicated to oncology radiotherapy and will include a session on QUARTET, an update on the new and ongoing projects as well as 2 sessions on infants’ radiotherapy and on AYA management. We will close this day with a social dinner.

The SIOPE website link to the Radiation Oncology Working Group has been updated (https://siope.eu/siop-europe-radiation-oncology-working-group/). Here you can find more information on the ongoing projects, interviews from colleagues from countries across Europe, upcoming events and ‘Information about Radiotherapy for Childhood Cancer’. To keep the website up-to-date, don’t hesitate to inform Mariangela Fiorente (Mariangela.fiorente@siope.eu) of any changes.

This group is open to all committed colleagues across Europe involved in paediatric radiation oncology. You can send your contact details or those of the new colleagues involved in paediatric radiotherapy to Mariangela Fiorente.

Finally, the SIOPE Radiation Oncology Working Group participated in the World Health Worker Week campaign that took place from 7-13 of April 2024. SIOPE co-organized this campaign with ACCELERATE, by showcasing the remarkable work of SIOPE’s and ACCELERATE’s Working Groups and Clinical Trial Groups, all in light of #WorldHealthWorkerWeek.
