Falcon 2024 Online Course - Brain Cancer

CNS Tumours Workshop is a comprehensive and interactive in-person course designed to provide a deep understanding of the latest advancements and evidence-based practices in the management of central nervous system tumours. Led by expert facilitators, the workshop focuses on enhancing participants' contouring skills, interpreting MRI scans, and understanding guidelines for target and OAR contouring. Attendees will delve into rational concepts for volume margin setup, considerations for dose and fractionation, and the current clinical evidence in CNS tumour treatment.

Utilizing advanced contouring tools, such as the FALCON EduCase platform, participants will actively engage in delineating cases related to CNS tumours. Online expert reviews of participants' contours, coupled with comparisons to expert contours, will ensure a dynamic and collaborative learning experience. The workshop aims to equip participants with practical, evidence-based knowledge that can be directly applied to their clinical practice. This in-person course provides a unique opportunity for interactive discussions with experts, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in the management of CNS tumours.

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 Zoom. 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.
