The AACR Special Conference in Cancer Research: Advances in Radiation Biology Mechanisms: Towards Clinical Adoption will take place from May 21–23, 2027, at the Hilton Denver City Center in Denver, Colorado, USA.

Organized by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the conference will bring together researchers, radiation oncologists, cancer biologists, and translational scientists to explore advances in radiation biology and their application in cancer treatment.

The meeting will focus on the biological mechanisms underlying radiation response and how new discoveries can be translated into improved therapeutic strategies. Topics will include tumor microenvironment interactions, radiation-induced immune responses, DNA damage and repair mechanisms, tumor metabolism, molecular pathways influencing treatment response, and the integration of multi-omics approaches into radiation oncology research.

The conference aims to connect experts in basic cancer biology, radiation science, immunology, and clinical oncology to discuss opportunities for improving radiotherapy through deeper understanding of tumor biology and treatment mechanisms.
