Thank you for a successful ESOI-EORTC Workshop in Riga!

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us in Riga last week. We were delighted to see such a high level of engagement, with the workshop being almost fully booked. It was inspiring to see radiologists and residents from across the field come together to bridge the gap between clinical theory and real-world oncological assessment.

A special thank you goes to our partners, Bracco and Mint Medical, whose support and specialised software were essential in making this hands-on learning experience possible.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

WORKSHOP INFORMATION

What can I expect from the workshop?

The ESOI-EORTC workshop is an interactive hands-on course aimed at practising radiologists and radiology residents, focusing on the criteria-based assessment of tumour response to treatment. The course consists of a number of lectures explaining the principles of imaging-based tumour response assessment and several hands-on interactive training workshops using specialised software with common and rare cancer cases encountered in the clinical routine or within clinical trials.

What can I learn during this workshop?

– To review the most common imaging criteria for assessment of treatment response
– To review the principles of structured oncologic reporting and the requirements for clinically relevant oncological reports from an oncologist’s perspective
– To achieve hands-on experience in choosing and measuring lesions, assessing tumour response to therapy and avoiding potential pitfalls
– To gain knowledge relevant to radiologists about clinical trials and trial methodology

What is the RECIST qualification?

Participants will have the unique opportunity to sit for a qualification test on using RECIST 1.1 at the end of the workshop. Successful participants* will receive a RECIST qualification certificate from the ESOI and EORTC. Qualified imaging physicians will then have the option to become independent imaging reviewers for future EORTC studies.
*RECIST qualification certificates can only be delivered to imaging physicians (radiologists or nuclear medicine physicians) who successfully completed the test at the end of the course.
