ESTRO Guide 2018

“The course workshops were eye-opening, revealing how differently we treat the same cases all over Europe. The course was much better than I could have ever expected. I learned a lot and had fun doing it. I have met some amazing colleagues from all over the world and that made the experience even more valuable.”
