Welcome to SPOT Contouring Course 2026

​

We are delighted to welcome you to the SPOT Contouring Course 2026, taking place in Singapore on 6–7 November 2026.

​

This year's theme, Choosing the Right Beam for the Right Patient, explores one of the most pressing questions in radiation oncology today: as proton therapy becomes more available across Asia-Pacific, when should we choose protons over modern photon therapy.

​

Over two days, we'll focus on three key disease sites — brain, prostate, and head & neck cancers — through:

• Lectures and debates from regional and international experts

• Clinical case discussions and contouring exercises

• Proton vs. photon treatment planning comparisons

• Multidisciplinary panel discussions with radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and radiation therapists

• A site visit to the Advanced Medicine Proton Therapy & Radiotherapy Centre at Biopolis, featuring pencil beam scanning proton therapy

​

Whether you work in a proton centre, a photon centre, or simply want to understand how these technologies can best serve your patients, we warmly invite you to join us for two days of learning, discussion, and collaboration.

Choosing the right beam starts with asking the right questions.
