Abstract

The fourteenth edition of the workshop covered the latest advances in internal and external radiotherapy obtained through a better understanding of the adaptive capacity of the tumor and its microenvironment, from different disciplinary angles, chemistry, biology, physics, and medicine, paving the way for numerous technological innovations. The biological aspects and the contribution of imaging in monitoring and understanding the adaptation of tumors to radiotherapy were presented, before focusing on innovative radiotherapy strategies and machine learning and data-driven techniques. Finally, the challenges were explored in the radiobiology of targeted radionuclide therapy as well as data science and machine learning in radiomics.

Keywords: External beam radiotherapy; Imagerie; Imaging; Molecular radiotherapy; Radiothérapie externe; Radiothérapie interne; Tumor ecosystem; Écosystème tumoral.
