Falcon 2023 Online Course - RANZCR Rectal Cancer

2023 ACTIVE AND INTRAINING MEMBERS AND AFFILIATE MEMBERS WHO HAVE NOT USED THEIR MEMBER'S BENEFIT CAN ALSO EXCEPTIONALLY APPLY FOR A MEMBER'S RATE FOR THIS COURSE. PLEASE SEND A MAIL TO EDUCATION@ESTRO.ORG

The rectal cancer workshop (WS) is a very extensive and enjoyable WS that will help you to understand the caveats of rectal cancer contouring and how to overcome those caveats with anatomical knowledge, surgical series outcomes and ESTRO contouring guidelines. The participants have to contour the GTV (tumor and nodal), the corresponding CTVs (high and low dose) as well as the organs at risk (OAR). The main interest will be focused on the CTVs delineation. At the end of the course you will have all this knowledge that will help you face everyday's clinical challenges and do it with scientific reasoning.

These online delineation workshops are aimed at junior clinical or radiation oncologists who want to improve their contouring skills or at more senior specialists who want to refresh and validate their knowledge and skills in this field.

This will be accompanied with prerecorded instructions how to use Falcon Educase and how to logon for the first session with Zoom. This will be sent one week before the first workshop lesson. On the first online lesson the faculty members will give a guideline presentation, and will review and comment your pre-workshop contours. Participants are requested to contour the case the second time based on the taught guidelines. On the second online lesson the faculty members will compare the first and the second submitted contours to the reference contours and generally comment the delineations.
