We invite specialists in radiation therapy to participate in the first conference organized by the Association of Radiation Oncologists of Ukraine (RadOnc.UA).

🔻 Program highlights:

• Radiation Oncology

• Medical Physics

• Nuclear Medicine

Participants will have the opportunity to attend lectures delivered by leading Ukrainian and international experts, discuss clinical cases, explore new technologies, and address current challenges in the field.

🎯 Why is this important?

Radiation oncology in Ukraine is undergoing a significant phase of transformation.

🇪🇺 In most European countries, the specialty “Radiation Oncology” officially replaced the term “Radiotherapy” during the 1990s–2000s.

🇺🇦 In Ukraine, the official transition from “Radiotherapy” to “Radiation Oncology” took place between 2019 and 2025.

This is more than just a change in terminology.

📌 A radiotherapy practitioner is primarily a technical specialist who delivers radiation treatment but does not make independent clinical decisions.

🧬 A radiation oncologist is a physician who provides a comprehensive approach to patient care, including treatment planning, clinical decision-making, evaluation of outcomes, and active participation in multidisciplinary teams.

This conference represents a step toward establishing a unified understanding of the role of the radiation oncologist, strengthening professional collaboration, and implementing modern standards in Ukrainian oncology practice.
