FALCON
FALCON workshops have been organised at ESTRO congresses since 2010 and have been growing steadily in popularity.
Attending a FALCON workshop offers the opportunity for individual professionals to:
- Validate their contouring practice during workshops by comparing them with those from experts and other participants
- Learn the guidelines and best practices proposed by the experts
- Discuss with experts and panellists
- Communicate and use the delineation guidelines to further integrate them into your daily practice.
