Sociedade Brasileira de Radioterapia

What Sociedade Brasileira de Radioterapia does

Sociedade Brasileira de Radioterapia (SBRT), founded in 1998, is a non-profit civil association headquartered in the Paraíso neighborhood of São Paulo that serves as the primary professional medical society for radio-oncologists in Brazil. The organization unites practitioners across the specialty, representing their scientific and professional interests before health authorities such as the Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS) and CONITEC, and administers the Specialist Title Examination for radiotherapy in partnership with the Associação Médica Brasileira. SBRT operates with a small staff of 13 employees and a board elected for two-year terms, currently led by President Wilson de Almeida (2025-2027 biennium).

SBRT's product portfolio centers on professional education and credentialing. Core offerings include the SOLAR continental collaboration platform, the annual Congresso Online (with recorded lectures), the Clube de Revista journal club spanning multiple oncology subspecialties, an extensive catalog of Continuing Education programs (Neuro-Oncology Review, targeted drug courses, hypofractionation LATAM course, trimodal programs), the Manual de Boas Práticas em Radioterapia, and the APP SBRT mobile application launched in 2019 for member notifications and content access. The organization also publishes the RT2030 project — developed with Fundação Dom Cabral — providing dynamic maps and data reports on radiotherapy access and distribution across Brazil.

The business model is a hybrid of individual membership subscriptions (R$1,000/year for Titular, Adjunto, and Associado categories, with Residente and Correspondente members exempt), annual congress and event revenue (with 50%+ member discounts), and corporate membership/sponsorship arrangements. Members additionally gain access to legal opinions, ESTRO affiliate benefits, and discounted publications. The go-to-market is community-led, relying on the website, social media, email communications, the mobile app, and in-person congresses distributed across Brazil, with no disclosed external funding or venture capital backing.

Direct peers

• Sociedade Brasileira de Oncologia Clínica (SBOC): SBOC is the Brazilian clinical oncology society, sharing the same domestic medical association model, member base overlap, and policy advocacy role with CONITEC and ANS. SBRT and SBOC frequently collaborate on multidisciplinary oncology policy and education in Brazil.
• ESTRO (European Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology): ESTRO is SBRT's explicit international partner and the European equivalent, providing scientific journals, educational programs, congresses, and professional standards in radiotherapy. The two societies share content, member benefits, and a comparable mission of advancing radiation oncology practice.
• Associação Médica Brasileira (AMB): AMB is SBRT's parent umbrella organization for Brazilian medical specialty societies and its partner in administering the specialist title examination. AMB sets the framework for specialty certification across all Brazilian medical societies.
• ALATRO (Asociación Latinoamericana de Terapia Radiante Oncológica): ALATRO is the Latin American regional radiation oncology society, directly comparable in geographic scope, mission, and constituency. SBRT already draws attendees from this region and could be a natural peer for continental collaboration or competition.
• Colégio Brasileiro de Radiologia (CBR): CBR is the Brazilian College of Radiology, the parent specialty society for diagnostic radiology. Radiation oncology originated from radiology in Brazil, creating overlap in member base, congress programming, and policy engagement.

Regional players

• FARO (Federación Argentina de Radioterapia Oncológica): FARO is the Argentine national radiation oncology society, the closest geographic peer to SBRT within South America. It offers comparable professional development and credentialing services to Argentine radio-oncologists.
• SEOR (Sociedad Española de Oncología Radioterápica): SEOR is the Spanish society for radiation oncology, operating as a comparable national professional body with similar educational, advocacy, and certification functions for its country's radio-oncology community.
• CARO (Canadian Association of Radiation Oncology): CARO is the Canadian national professional association for radiation oncologists, offering comparable membership services, annual scientific meetings, and advocacy. Although geographically distinct, its scale and operating model closely mirror SBRT's.
• RANZCR (Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists) Faculty of Radiation Oncology: RANZCR's Faculty of Radiation Oncology administers training, certification, and continuing education for Australian and New Zealand radiation oncologists. It is structurally similar to SBRT but operates in a different geographic market.

Broad incumbents

• ASTRO (American Society for Radiation Oncology): ASTRO is the largest US professional society for radiation oncology, offering similar membership, education, certification, and advocacy services. SBRT operates as the Brazilian analogue of ASTRO's role in North America, making it the most structurally comparable peer despite geography.
