ESTRO Guide 2019

TEACHINGMETHODS • Lectures / tutorials: 16 hours • Practical workshop: 8 hours • Applicators commissioning and reconstruction: 6 hours - Physicists • Video presentations by faculty and previous year participants: 2-3 hours - Clinicians. Description: The tutorials include discussions of basics, evidence based treatments, contouring guidelines, various processes involved in advanced EBRT and brachytherapy techniques and quality assurance. The practical hands on demonstration covers a direct learning process involved in approach, brachytherapy techniques, contouring exercises, evaluation and discussions on 3D radiotherapy. 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. • Exclusive feedback sessions for “Experienced track” participants. KEYWORDS Evidence basedmulti-modalitymanagement guidelines, 2D to 3D transition, 3D Image Guided Adaptive Brachytherapy (IGABT) in cervical cancers, contouring guidelines for advanced EBRT including IMRT/ IGRT and image based brachytherapy in cervical cancer.

• Radiobiological effects from combined external irradiation and brachytherapy, linear quadratic model • Prescribing, recording and reporting including ICRU- GEC-ESTRO 89 recommendations and ESGO/ESTRO/ ESP guidelines for the management of patients with cervical cancer • Therapeut ic outcome: rad io- chemotherapy, image based EBRT and brachytherapy include ng EMBRACE • Reflexion of participants` clinical experience in image guided radiotherapy (experienced track) Two different tracks will be offered which are adapted to different levels of clinical experience among participants: “General track” and “Experienced track” (related to brachytherapy). • The “General track” has a more elaborate educational component and will include all introductory lectures into image guided brachytherapy such as brachytherapy techniques, target contouring, and ICRU- GEC-ESTRO recommendations. • The “Experienced track” will feature break-out sessions where participants present patient cases on power point (diagnostic work-up, EBRT target contouring and treatment planning as well as brachytherapy application, target contouring and treatment).The break-out sessions will be supervised by faculty members (MDs and physicists), so that individual feed-back on treatment practice can be obtained. PREREQUISITES Depending whether you opt for the general or experienced track, slightly different prerequisites will apply. Please consult the ESTRO website for more details.
