Using an interactive online platform during early clinical rotations, the study identifies specific structures frequently overlooked, such as the inguinal nodes in anal cancer and the base of skull in nasopharyngeal cases. These insights can inform targeted educational interventions and support the development of more standardized contouring curricula.
