This Workshop will be organized in Rome, Italy at the Gemelli University Hospital. Local expert teams and guest faculty from the Medical University of Vienna will make a fundamental introduction in the basics of image-guided brachytherapy (interventional radiotherapy) in cervical cancer. The course precedes the advanced workshop on the same topic organized at the Medical University of Vienna in Vienna, Austria.
During the workshop the participants will be presented a comprehensive practical insight into the clinical workflow of 3D image-guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer. This course entails 60% of time dedicated to training of practical skills, and a tailor-made agenda based on participants needs.
To address properly all teaching needs, registered participants are kindly requested to fill in a questionnaire and return it to info@brachyacademy.com before April 1st, 2023.
