2021 Annual Meeting - Challenging Cases in Breast Cancer

The session will have two components. First, the moderator will lead a discussion among the panelists of pre-selected difficult cases. These will be chosen to highlight current controversies and uncertainties in the modern management of breast cancer, and also to emphasize recent practice-changing clinical trials. In addition to radiation oncologists, the panel will include a breast medical oncologist and breast surgical oncologist to demonstrate the coordinated multidisciplinary collaboration that is essential in modern breast cancer management. The panel will also be selected to represent a diversity of radiation oncologists and practice patterns. Second, the audience will have an opportunity to both ask questions about the cases previously presented and also to ask the panel questions about challenging cases or situations they have encountered in their own practice. Questions can be asked during the panel, or emailed in advance to the moderator. The amount of time dedicated to each component will depend on the total time for the panel, but it is anticipated that at least 15 minutes will be reserved for audience questions. 

Target Audience

The activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents, surgeons, nurses and radiation therapists.
