ESTRO Guide 2018

“I was impressed with the progress and development of the course as it covered all aspects of the new developments, a reassurance clinicians like myself appreciate from time to time. My advice is not to shy away from attending this course even if you have already developed the required experience. Tips and tricks from experienced centres are always reassuring for safe practice.”

PREREQUISITES Before commencing this course participants should have: • Basicknowledgeofprinciplesandexperiencewith multi-modality management of gynaecological cancers • Basic knowledge of and experience with radiological patho-anatomy relevant to gynaecological cancers • Experience with existing external beam and brachytherapy workflows and processes in gynaecological cancers • Bepreparedtosubmithomeworkpriortothecourse (instructions for homeworkwill be distributed 2-4 weeks before initiation of the course)

The case discussions and practical workshops cover a direct learning process through contouring exercises, hands-on treatment planning, evaluation and discussions of different clinical situations. METHODS OF ASSESSMENT • Contouring (FALCON tool) and dose planning exercises (pre- and post-course homework) • Interactive feedback through audience voting on specific questions during lectures • MCQ (interactive session at the end of the course) • ESTRO teaching course evaluation form. KEYWORDS Evidence based multi-modality management guidelines, Image Guided Adaptive Brachytherapy (IGABT) in gynaecological cancers, contouring guidelines for external beam and brachytherapy in gynaecological cancers, IMRT and IGRT for gynaecological cancers. ACCREDITATION Application for CME recognitionwill be submitted to the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
