“It is an honor to participate as an international speaker at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting 2026 in Boston, as part of the session:
International 04 – Challenges and Solutions of Implementing New Radiotherapy Advanced Techniques in LMIC
- September 29, 2026
- Main session: 12:30 PM – 1:45 PM ET
- Boston, MA
This will be a global dialogue on how to implement advanced radiotherapy techniques in low- and middle-income countries, sharing real-world experiences, barriers, practical solutions, and sustainable strategies to improve access to high-quality cancer care.
I will have the honor of sharing the stage with outstanding international colleagues:

This session represents much more than a scientific agenda. It is an invitation to build bridges across regions, institutions, and teams that share the same mission: bringing innovation, safety, precision, and equitable access to more patients with cancer.
Advanced radiotherapy is not implemented through technology alone. It requires vision, education, leadership, multidisciplinary collaboration, and teams committed to transforming realities.
I invite colleagues, residents, medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, oncology nurses, healthcare managers, and cancer program leaders to follow the meeting, attend this session, and join this global conversation.
Because when we share knowledge, work as a team, and build international networks, radiotherapy moves forward.
And when radiotherapy moves forward, our patients win.
See you at ASTRO 2026!
Let’s keep advancing radiotherapy together.”
