5thPort’s AI-powered patient engagement platform is helping reshape how cancer patients prepare for treatment consultations, according to new research presented this past weekend at ESTRO 2026 in Stockholm.

5thPort’s innovative approach to patient engagement in radiation oncology using AI patient education videos, gained international recognition last week at the International Congress on Innovative Approaches in Head and Neck Oncology (ICHNO 2026) in Seville, Spain.

5thPort is proud to announce that research co-authored by its team has been selected for a prestigious podium presentation at the American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) 12th Annual International Conference on Head and Neck Cancer. The conference will take place July 18–22, 2026, at the Menino Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

A new study co-authored by ChristianaCare's Radiation Oncology department and 5thPort has been published in the Red Journal – the official journal of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and one of the most respected publications in cancer research and clinical innovation. The study, titled "A Pilot Study Incorporating AI-Based Avatar Digital Engagements for Patients in a Community Radiation Oncology Practice," evaluated the use of pre-consultation digital patient engagements, including multiple-choice teach-back quizzes, within a community radiation oncology setting.
