Kicking Off ESTRO25: What’s Happening on Day 1
The 2025 ESTRO Congress officially commenced today in Vienna, marking the beginning of what promises to be a dynamic and impactful gathering for the global radiation oncology community. The first day featured a robust agenda of scientific sessions, educational courses, and collaborative discussions focused on innovation, clinical excellence, and multidisciplinary care.
