SFjRO-Société Française des Jeunes Radiothérapeutes Oncologues

What SFjRO-Société Française des Jeunes Radiothérapeutes Oncologues does

SFjRO (Société Française des Jeunes Radiothérapeutes Oncologues) is a French non-profit professional association, structured as an association loi 1901 and founded in 2003. Headquartered at the Centre Antoine Béclère in Paris (75013), the organization employs 17 staff and serves young radiation oncologists, including residents, fellows, and post-interns, across 28 French cities. Membership is offered free of charge, removing price as a barrier to participation and aligning the association's reach with the geographic distribution of trainees in France.

The association's product surface spans clinical decision-support tools, education, and community programming. The flagship technical asset is the iLQ dose calculator, which implements the linear-quadratic model for radiation therapy and is distributed as a multilingual web application with native iOS and Android clients, giving it an international user base beyond the French membership. Education is delivered through the Cours d'Hiver, the Cours Communs d'Oncologie, city guides, webinars, and the recently launched Onco Arcade educational gaming platform. The association also administers the Bourse Maurice Tubiana, a €20,000 research grant. Underlying operations rest on a community-led go-to-market, free membership, and a small permanent staff supporting volunteer-led programming.

Revenue is generated not from membership fees but from corporate sponsorships, institutional partnerships, and program-related grants. Sponsors and partners include pharmaceutical companies as well as ecosystem counterparts SFRO, ESTRO, AERIO, CNEC, AFSOS, INCa, SFC, AFCOR, Unicancer, and Cancéropôle Île-de-France. Governance is exercised through a rotating Bureau, with the Bureau 2026 led by President Charles Raynaud, and the organization operates inside the broader French oncology training and research ecosystem rather than as a standalone commercial entity.

Direct peers

• AERIO (Association des Internes en Oncologie): French association of medical oncology residents, the sister society to SFjRO. Directly comparable as a trainee-focused oncology professional association in France, with which SFjRO co-organizes the Cours Communs d'Oncologie and the national career prospects survey.
• SNRO (Société Nationale des Radiothérapeutes Oncologues): French national society of radiation oncologists, co-sponsor of the Bourse Maurice Tubiana with SFjRO. Comparable as a French radiation oncology professional society with overlapping membership and joint programming.
• AFSOS (Association Francophone pour les Soins Oncologiques de Support): Francophone association for supportive oncology care, partnered with SFjRO on the National Supportive Care Courses in Radiation Oncology. Comparable as a French/Francophone oncology professional association with educational program focus.
• CNEC (Collège National des Enseignants en Cancérologie): French national college of cancer education teachers, partnered with SFjRO for webinar content and the national career survey. Comparable as a French oncology education body, though focused on academic faculty rather than trainees.

Regional players

• GORTEC (Groupe d'Oncologie Radiothérapie Tête et Cou): French head and neck radiation oncology cooperative group whose congresses SFjRO supports. Comparable as a French radiation oncology organization, though specialized in head and neck cancers rather than trainees.
• Royal College of Radiologists (UK): UK professional body for clinical radiology and clinical oncology, including radiotherapy training and education. Comparable as a national professional society with trainee-focused training programs and educational resources, though UK-focused and broader in scope.

Broad incumbents

• SFRO (Société Française de Radiothérapie Oncologique): The parent French radiation oncology society, of which SFjRO is effectively the youth wing. Directly comparable as a French radiotherapy professional society, but serves all radiation oncologists (not just trainees) and operates at a national/established scale with congresses, guidelines, and industry partnerships.
• ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology): European professional society for medical oncology, broadly comparable as a European oncology professional society with education, congress, and membership programs. While medical (not radiation) oncology focused, it shares audience overlap with SFjRO's trainee members.
• ASTRO (American Society for Radiation Oncology): The US counterpart to SFRO/ESTRO for radiation oncology. Directly comparable as a radiation oncology professional society serving clinicians and researchers, with annual congress, educational resources, and industry partnerships, though at significantly larger scale.
• ESTRO (European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology): European-level radiation oncology society with which SFjRO partners. Comparable as a radiotherapy professional society, but operates pan-European with a much broader membership base including physicists, RTTs, and senior clinicians.
