Course Aims 

• To provide a comprehensive overview on the whole field of Gynaecological Radiation Therapy focussing on Brachytherapy and External Irradiation in Cervix Cancer, Endometrial Cancer and Vaginal Cancer
•  To provide an overview on evidence-based medicine in Cervical and Endometrial Cancer
•  To learn about advanced image-based techniques including IMRT and optimization process in brachytherapy using stepping source technology
•  To introduce image-based concepts of GTV, CTV and PTV in Gynaecological Radiation Oncology including both External Irradiation and Brachytherapy (with adaptation during 4D treatment)
•  To enable practical implementation of advanced concepts and techniques in Gynaecological External Irradiation and Brachytherapy, including parametrial boost and nodal boost techniques

Target Group

The course is aimed at Radiation and Gynaecological Oncologists, Medical Physicists and Radiation Technologists involved in Gynaecological tumour treatments, interested in the implementation of advanced concepts and techniques. A basic knowledge of Gynaecological Oncology is required.
