Falcon 2023 Online Course - Prostate Cancer SBRT

This workshop is for anyone who needs to contour the prostate including trainee oncologists, established oncologists, contouring radiographers. Contouring variability is the largest remaining error in radiotherapy and so continuous learning and improvement are critical to a high quality radiotherapy service.  This practically-focussed course will offer opportunities for contouring and feedback and will equip you with the knowledge and skills to contour anatomy for prostate radiotherapy. Common pitfalls will be discussed, using examples from the quality assurance process in the PACE trial. Expert radiology and anatomy input will form an integral part of this course.

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.

Before the workshop, pre-workshop homework will be sent out that needs to be complete before the workshop. This will be accompanied with prerecorded instructions how to use Falcon Educase and how to logon for the first session with WebEx. 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.
