The European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO)’s congress in Copenhagen in 2022 will create more tacticallegacies at future events.
Themed ‘Learning from every patient’, the event will focus on two areas: showcasing and translating Danish experiences and expertise to ESTRO members before, during, and after the congress via projects and events, as well as using the event as a catalyst to improve radiotherapy in Denmark and the rest of Europe.
On the decision to stage the next congress in Copenhagen and the expected outcome of ESTRO 2022, Alessandro Cortese, CEO of ESTRO’s Executive Council, commented: “When planning a congress, besides excellent scientific content, and networking opportunities for the attendees, ESTRO also looks at the event as a catalyser to create the conditions for all patients in need to access the best possible treatment. We share this objective with our partners in Denmark, as the ultimate beneficiaries of the achievements of the congress are the citizens of the city and the country that hosts ESTRO’s scientific community.”
