ESTRO meets Asia 2024

It is with great pleasure that we announce the third edition of the Joint FARO-ESTRO Congress @ ESTRO meets Asia 2024 which will take place from 23 to 25 August in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

The objective of this joint venture from ESTRO and FARO (The Federation of Asian Organizations for Radiation Oncology)  is to build radiation oncology collaboration between Europe and Asia - sharing developments in science, education, technology and professional development, for the benefit of all professionals working in the field of radiation oncology.

The interactive congress format will be a platform for participants to learn from each other by embracing the diversity of clinical practices and exploring the development of common solutions to optimise radiotherapy treatment and care for all patients. The scientific programme will have three components: an interdisciplinary, a medical physics and an RTT track dealing with topics of interest to the different radiotherapy disciplines.

The congress will also feature a large exhibition in radiation oncology. We encourage you to join us and connect with colleagues near and far as well as with industry leaders showcasing the latest developments in the radiotherapy and oncology fields. 

Finally, we invite you to help us enrich the programme of this congress by submitting an abstract for the conference between 11 January and 6 March 2024.  

ESTRO and FARO are looking forward to welcoming you to Kuala Lumpur.

The interactive congress format will be a platform for participants to learn from each other by embracing the diversity of clinical practices and exploring the development of common solutions to optimise radiotherapy treatment and care for all patients. The scientific programme will have three components: an interdisciplinary, a medical physics and an RTT track dealing with topics of interest to the different radiotherapy disciplines. Highlights of the clinical track include symposia on combining radiotherapy with immunotherapy, management of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the use of AI in daily practice alongside updates on hot topics in the management of breast, oral cavity, lung and cervical cancers. The physics track includes a panel discussion on adaptive workflows, pitch sessions on global medical physics education and dosimetry audits, alongside teaching lectures on how to get published and on dose accumulation. RTT track highlights include symposia on role development, leadership and management in radiation oncology, cultural perspectives on patient-reported outcomes, innovations in imaging protocols and how to retain the workforce.
