The joint ESTRO-EADO symposium is aimed at highlighting the importance of close cooperation between dermato-oncologist, surgeons, radiation / clinical oncologists, onco-geriatricians and allied health care professionals such as medical physicists, radiographers and nurses. Such cooperation would not be possible without continued mutual understanding of advancements in each speciality, allowing to work together towards a common goal.
This year’s theme of the joint ESTRO-EADO symposium is “Behind local control: Modern integrated opportunities in the management of non-melanoma skin cancer”. The first talk will cover quality of life studies in non-melanoma skin cancer and personalized integrated care. The next session will give an overview of Mohs surgery, a microscopically margin controlled procedure to treat skin cancer that revolutionised skin surgery. Following that the decision-making experiment will be discussed as an alternative approach to harmonise clinical practice in the areas of skin cancer management where recommendations are not uniform. Finally, we will hear from medical physicist describing their work behind the scene in skin radiotherapy and from radiographer how they support patient journey during and after skin radiotherapy.
