Summary:The ambition of the RADIOTRANSNET network, launched by the INCa at the end of 2018, is to create a French research consortium dedicated to preclinical radiotherapy to foster scientific and clinical interactions at the interface of radiotherapy and radiobiology, and to identify research priorities dedicated to innovation in radiotherapy. The activities of the network are organized around four major axes that are target definition, normal tissue, combined treatments and dose modelling. Under the supervision of the Scientific Council, headed by a coordinator designated by the SFRO and a co-coordinator designated by the SFPM, three leaders coordinate each axis: a radiation-oncologist, a medical physicist and a biologist, who are responsible for organizing a scientific meeting based on the consensus conference methodology to identify priority issues. The selected themes will be the basis for the establishment of a strategic research agenda and a roadmap to help coordinate national basic and translational research efforts in oncological radiotherapy. This work will be published and will be transmitted to the funding institutions and bodies with the aim of opening dedicated calls to finance the necessary human and technical resources. Structuration of a preclinical research network will allow coordinating the efforts of all the actors in the field and thus promoting innovation in radiotherapy.
