Program Overview – TWC2027

The 9th Theranostics World Congress (TWC2027) in Osaka, Japan, will once again bring together leading experts from across the global theranostics community. The program reflects the full spectrum of Radiomolecular Precision Medicine (RPM) — from fundamental research and radiochemistry to clinical applications and emerging therapeutic strategies.

Building on the strong scientific foundation of previous editions, TWC2027 continues to foster interdisciplinary exchange, international collaboration, and the translation of innovation into clinical practice. The congress follows its unique one-room concept, creating a focused and highly interactive scientific environment.

Main Topics

The main topics of TWC2027 reflect the key scientific and clinical developments in theranostics and Radiomolecular Precision Medicine, including:

  • Solid Tumours including NET
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Medical Physics & Instrumentation
  • Radiochemistry & Radiopharmacy
  • Novel Targets, Chemistry & Emerging Concepts
  • Tumour Microenvironment (TME): Diagnosis & Therapy
  • Radioisotope Production & Supply
  • Basic & Translational Research / Radiobiology
  • Combination Therapies
  • Patient Access & Healthcare Systems
  • Industry Symposia & Exhibition

last updated: September 3, 2026

Program Overview

The preliminary program for TWC2027 is now available, offering an overview of four days of scientific exchange in Osaka. The program brings together scientific sessions, dedicated symposia and workshops, industry sessions, poster presentations, and opportunities for international exchange.

Covering topics from radioisotopes, radiochemistry, instrumentation and dosimetry to established and emerging theranostic targets and clinical applications, the program reflects the broad spectrum of theranostics and Radiomolecular Precision Medicine.

As in previous editions, TWC2027 follows its established one-room concept, creating a focused environment for interdisciplinary exchange and discussion.

Please note: The program is preliminary and subject to change. Further details, including speakers and individual presentations, will be added as planning progresses.

We look forward to welcoming you from March 11–14, 2027 in Osaka, Japan.
