ASTRO 2026

Take a Seat and Join the Conversation at ASTRO 2026

September 24, 2026

ASTRO is always one of the highlights of our year at Leo Cancer Care, but this year feels different. For the first time, we’re heading to ASTRO with clinical experience behind us.

In 2026, upright radiotherapy moved from something we had spent years researching, developing and preparing for, to a clinical reality. Patients have now been positioned, imaged and treated upright using our technology.

This year, we can talk not only about what upright radiotherapy could look like, but about what we are learning as it becomes part of real clinical practice.


From hypothetical to clinical

Introducing a new approach to radiotherapy inevitably comes with a learning curve. Going clinical has given us the opportunity to see years of development put into practice but it has also brought new questions, discoveries and practical challenges to explore.

What have we learned about workflow? What has surprised us? What have clinical teams experienced? What have patients experienced? What challenges have emerged, and what are we still working to understand?

These are the conversations we want to have at ASTRO.

Upright radiotherapy is entering a new phase, and in many ways, we are on that learning curve alongside the clinical and research community. That is what makes this year so exciting.

We want to share what we have learned so far, hear what you think and talk openly about the questions that still need answering.


Meet the people behind Leo Cancer Care

With colleagues from across Leo Cancer Care attending, including sales, marketing, product, research and leadership, there will be plenty of expertise on hand and lots of opportunities for conversation.

  • Interested in the technology? ——— Come and talk to our product experts.
  • Want to know about the emerging evidence? ——— Talk research with us.
  • Curious about implementation and clinical experience? ——— Ask us what we have learned since going clinical.
  • Want to understand the bigger picture and where upright radiotherapy could be heading? ——— We would love to hear your perspective too.

Most importantly, bring your questions, including the difficult ones!


Don’t just hear about upright radiotherapy. Experience it.

There is one very simple way to understand upright positioning better: try it. Visitors to our booth will have the opportunity to sit in the system and experience upright positioning for themselves. Explore the technology up close. See how positioning works. Think about how it might fit into a clinical workflow. And talk to our team about the practicalities behind it.

Whether you have followed upright radiotherapy for years, have only recently heard about it or remain unsure about its role in the future of radiotherapy, you are welcome.

Rest your weary tradeshow feet and take a seat in the comfiest seat in the house!

There’s plenty happening on the booth

Our booth will be a place for learning throughout ASTRO, with presentations bringing together clinicians, researchers, collaborators and technology partners from across the upright radiotherapy community.

Topics planned include integrating PET verification into upright particle therapy, preparing upright proton therapy for the clinic, and treating pediatric patients upright – including clinical experience, opportunities and ongoing research.
There are also activities planned with collaborators including Orfit and Chabner, giving visitors an opportunity to explore some of the wider developments taking place around upright radiotherapy.

And for the first time… we’re heading to ASRT

There is another first for us this year: Leo Cancer Care will also be attending the ASRT Radiation Therapy Conference.

We are particularly looking forward to spending time with radiation therapists, the people who will interact with our technology every day and who work directly with the patients we ultimately want it to benefit. A technology can perform brilliantly on paper, but it also has to work in the reality of a radiotherapy department. This is where radiation therapist insight and perspective is essential.

What is positioning like? How does it affect workflow? How easy is it to communicate with and support the patient? What works well? What could work better?

These are exactly the kinds of conversations we want to have.

If you’re a radiation therapist attending ASRT, come and meet us. Ask us about what we have learned so far and tell us what you would want from the technology.


Research. Technology. Clinical experience. And plenty more to learn.

This has been an important year for upright radiotherapy. But reaching the clinic wasn’t the end of the journey. In many ways, it was the beginning of the next one. Now we get to learn from clinical experience, from research, from our partners and, importantly, from the wider radiotherapy community.

The best way to move the conversation forward is to have it together.

We can’t wait to see you at ASTRO and ASRT 2026.
