Quoting ESTRO:
“A productive and inspiring day at the GEC-ESTRO Committee Meeting in Brussels.
We had engaging discussions on the future of brachytherapy, with a strong focus on collaboration, education, innovation, and global outreach. Key topics included:
Progress of the RTT / Nurse brachytherapy group, which continues to grow and strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration.
Planning of upcoming GEC-ESTRO workshops and educational activities, including the 2027 workshop.
Preparation for ESTRO 2027 and discussions on how brachytherapy can gain greater visibility across the wider radiation oncology community.
Strategic conversations on the future World Congress of Brachytherapy 2028, with a shared commitment to promoting brachytherapy globally and ensuring its impact reaches beyond our own community.
Strengthening collaborations with international partners and societies to advance education, research, advocacy, and patient care worldwide.
Review of ongoing scientific projects, guidelines, publications, awareness initiatives, and opportunities to increase brachytherapy representation across ESTRO.
What stood out most was the dedication of colleagues across disciplines, all working toward the same goal: improving cancer care through innovation, education, and access to brachytherapy.
Thank you to all committee members for the insightful discussions and commitment.”
