2021 eContouring for Lung Cancer - NSCLC/SABR Case Library

Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for early stage lung cancer has yielded outstanding outcomes comparable to radical resection.  The approach requires special technologic requirements and contouring expertise to be safely performed.   For locally advanced lung cancers, standard fractionation radiotherapy requires understanding of a different set of dose constraints and target objectives.  This course will review both approaches.

This activity was recorded at the 2020 ASTRO Annual Meeting and is available from May 13, 2021, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on May 12, 2024.

Target Audience

This program is designed to meet the interest of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, physicists, radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists and radiation oncology residents.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify basic anatomy in the cases.  
  • Explain the rationale for current contouring approaches (targets and OARs) and technological requirements for common clinical scenarios including lung SABR and conventionally-fractionated radiotherapy for lung-cancer.
  • Determine the ITV, CTV and PTV for lung cancer in SABR and IMRT treatment.
  • Describe updates in normal tissue dose constraints and target dose objectives.
