Mission & Interests

Goals: ESTRO, the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy & Oncology, is a scientific non-profit organisation whose mission is to further reinforce radiation oncology as a core partner in multidisciplinary cancer care and to guarantee accessible and high-value radiation therapy for all cancer patients who need it. This is emphasized in ESTRO’s vision statement for 2030 ‘Radiation Oncology. Optimal Health for All, Together’. ESTRO promotes education, science, research and advocate for access to radiotherapy. Throughout the year, the Society organises an annual Congress, teaching courses, workshops, and public affairs activities and publishes scientific material in its family of journals. The Society counts over 9,000 members in and outside Europe and supports all the radiation oncology professionals and the wider oncology community in their daily practice. https://www.estro.org/ESTRO/media/ESTRO/About/190417-ESTRO-Vision-Paper-2030.pdf
