This leading edge program is given by an expert team of the Medical University of Vienna. This course is complementary to the ESTRO ‘Image-guided radiotherapy & chemotherapy in gynecological cancer’ course.
Participants obtain comprehensive practical insight into the clinical workflow of 3D image-guided BrachyTherapy for gynecological tumors. Practical issues, solutions and constraints for each participating center are defined during extensive discussions on the practical aspects of implementing 3D image-based brachytherapy for gynecology.
