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.
