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.
