ESTRO Toolkit for Radiation Oncology Advocacy in Europe

Implementing a radiation oncology advocacy campaign

Events and opportunities for engagement

An excellent way to harness existing momentum for building awareness and solidifying a community around the inclusion of radiation oncology in best practice cancer treatment is to use the occasion of a cancer awareness event that already has a high profile or which gathers some of your key stakeholders.

Some ideas include: ESTRO events

World Cancer Day: 4 February European Week Against Cancer: 25–31 May European Cancer Patient Coalition events Events of national patient groups or foundations Events of national radiation oncology societies ECCO annual meeting.
