Image-guided radiotherapy and chemotherapy in gynaecological cancer: focus on MRI based adaptive brachytherapy 2017

Image-guided radiotherapy and chemotherapy in gynaecological cancer: focus on MRI based adaptive brachytherapy is organized by European Society for Radiotherapy Oncology (ESTRO) and would be held during Oct 22 - 26, 2017 at Hotel Novotel Praha Wenceslas Square, Prague, Praha, Czech Republic.

The target audience for this medical event for radiation and gynaecological oncologists, medical physicists and radiation therapist (RTTs) involved in gynaecological tumour treatments, interested in the implementation of EBRT and brachytherapy image guidance.

Course description : -
This course aims
• To provide a comprehensive overview on the whole field of gynaecological radiation therapy focussing on brachytherapy and external irradiation in cervix cancer, endometrial cancer and vaginal cancer
• To provide an overview on evidencebased medicine (including concomitant chemoradiation)
• To introduce image-based target concepts of GTV, CTV and PTV in gynaecological radiation oncology including both EBRT and brachytherapy
• To learn to know about advanced imagebased EBRT and brachytherapy including techniques and treatment planning
• To enable practical implementation of advanced concepts and techniques in EBRT and brachytherapy

Conference Objectives are :
• Understand comprehensive multi-modality approach to GYN cancers with special emphasis on radiation oncology
• Understand the rationale and apply concepts of advanced brachytherapy techniques in clinical practice.
• Perform contouring, treatment planning and image guidance for EBRT and brachytherapy in clinical practice.
• Adopt, refine and implement advanced radiation techniques including image guidance in GYN Cancers.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
