Coming October 29: SITC releases its late-breaking abstract titles. We’ll add their presenting authors’ institutions to this guide once they’re out.

Gunma University at SITC 2026

Nov 4–8, 2026 Phoenix, AZ ~6k attendees Website

Gunma University brings 2 presentations to SITC 2026 in Phoenix. Its program centres on how carbon-ion radiotherapy affects the immune system. It compares carbon ions with chemoradiotherapy for loss of lymphocytes in rare head and neck cancers, and with X-rays for neutrophil traps linked to keeping CD8 T cells out of tumors.
