31st Congress of the German Society for Radiation Oncology

We look forward to welcoming you to our annual congress in Dresden.

The Future of Radiation Oncology Care

The future of radiation oncology care is a tailor-made, technologically advanced treatment that considers individual characteristics of the tumor and normal tissue, as well as patient-specific factors.

Key Aspects of Future-Oriented Radiotherapy

• High-Precision Techniques: Targeted use and continuous development.
• Symptom Relief: Proven techniques for symptom management.
• Multimodal Approaches: Incorporating radiogenic immunomodulation and individual tumor biology.
• Networked Support Services: Enhanced support for patients.
• Radiation Planning: Utilizing artificial intelligence and optimized imaging.

The increasing complexity of these approaches demands high standards in training for various professional groups, collaboration within radiation oncology teams, and cooperation between hospitals and practices. As a team, we must seize the opportunity to further develop ourselves and our discipline to provide the best possible treatment for our patients.

Collaboration with Patients

As healthcare providers, advancing these developments requires collaboration with our patients. Key considerations include:

• Balancing Recovery and Risks: How do patients weigh recovery chances against treatment-related side effects?
• Patient Information: How can we best inform patients?
• Study and Treatment Planning: Can we design studies and treatments to best accommodate patients’ decisions?

DEGRO Congress 2025

During the DEGRO Congress 2025, we will highlight the “Radiation Oncology Team” to showcase achievements through collaborative work and networked thinking in oncology. The congress program will emphasize:

• Team Spirit: Focusing on the patient perspective and the specialized knowledge of various professions in radiation oncology.
• Diverse Program: Featuring current study data, continuing education opportunities, new technologies, and interactive sessions.
