Introduction

In an exciting development for cancer research, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Gustave Roussy, located in Villejuif, France, have announced the Fourth Transatlantic Exchange in Oncology Conference, set to take place on March 19, 2025. This pivotal event, themed “Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Meets Oncology,” will be held at the Hyatt Regency Etoile Hotel and will also be livestreamed for global participation.

Conference Highlights

Experts from both prestigious institutions will explore vital topics in the realm of radiopharmaceuticals, including precision oncology, molecular imaging for early detection, and the transition from non-radio-labeled targets to active radio-labeled products. Additionally, the conference will highlight the latest clinical applications and perspectives from both academia and industry on radioligand therapies.

Keynote and Leadership

The conference will be co-chaired by Professor Toni Choueiri, MD, the Medical Director of International Strategic Initiatives at Dana-Farber, and Professor Karim Fizazi from Gustave Roussy. Attendees will be treated to a keynote presentation by Michael Morris, MD, FASCO, who leads the Prostate Cancer Section at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. His talk, titled “Seeing beyond VISION: Designing Radioligand Therapy Trials that Yield a Survival Benefit,” promises to offer groundbreaking insights.

Significance of the Conference

Professor Choueiri emphasized the significance of this gathering, stating, “Through this scientific conference, our global colleagues share recent discoveries, from basic research to clinical practices. The panels will discuss recent advances and future directions of radiopharmaceutical therapy in oncology.” He highlights the spirit of collaboration that drives the conference, aimed at sharing information that could lead to curing cancer.

Leading Future Care Strategies

Professor Fabrice Barlesi from Gustave Roussy underscored the importance of radioligand therapies in future patient care strategies. He noted that Gustave Roussy stands as a leader in the field, having developed therapies from their inception through to Phase III trials across various cancers. This pioneering work opens transformative avenues for precision medicine, with both institutions at the forefront of impactful research that can enhance patient outcomes globally.

Ongoing Collaboration

This conference is a key component of the ongoing collaboration between Dana-Farber and Gustave Roussy, sustained by the support of L'Institut Servier, a non-profit organization committed to enhancing healthcare through academic research promotion. The partnership features annual conferences alternating between Boston, MA, and Paris, France, as well as a biennial fellowship program for post-doctoral researchers from Gustave Roussy to gain insights from Dana-Farber’s research laboratories.

Previous Conferences

Previous editions of the Transatlantic Exchange have tackled vital subjects such as Immuno-Oncology, Artificial Intelligence in Oncology, and Liquid Biopsy techniques, with the inaugural meeting held in Boston back in May 2022.
