BiGART 2023: A conference rich in traditions yet with a clear focus on current developments

170 participants gathered in Aarhus for the Acta Oncologia conference on Biology-Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy on June 20-21.

BiGART has always been an interactive meeting. At BiGART 2023 we were happy to welcome participants from 13 countries and an impressive 110 submitted abstracts. This meant that a large proportion of participants presented their research at the conference, either in an oral presentation or by poster presentations.

The BiGART 2023 special issue of Acta Oncologica is underway and will be announced via the Acta Oncologica channels. Please find a summary of the conference below.
