The ESTRO School of Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESRO) is an international school that aims to improve, professionalise and standardise knowledge and practice in radiation oncology and associated professions in Europe and beyond.

To accomplish this mission ESRO promotes a wide range of educational tools, in particular high-quality teaching courses. The courses are based on the European Core Curricula and cover the following aspects of Radiotherapy and Oncology:

• Principles and practice of radiotherapy with radiation physics, radiobiology and oncology imaging
• Multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment, fostering communication among cancer-related medical subspecialties and the exchange of a wide range of issues related to cancer, including biology, prevention, diagnosis, staging, treatment, adverse side effects, palliative care, ethical-legal aspects, management and psychosocial implications

ESRO addresses basic and continuing medical educational needs, by focusing both on evidence based clinical practice and basic, translational and clinical research. Its activities are designed to meet the needs of practising radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents, radiation biologists, radiation physicists, radiation technologists, oncology nurses and oncology administrators, as well as oncologists working in related specialties.
