2021 Refresher - Genitourinary

The top barriers to changing or improving practice identified by 2017 learners were multidisciplinary communication and understanding of all treatment options.The 2019 multidisciplinary planning committees reviewed these barriers and noted that regarding treatment of patients with thoracic malignancies, advances are reported almost daily and failure to stay informed can lead to missed opportunities to improve patient care and outcomes. It is increasingly challenging for the clinician to optimally incorporate these advances into daily practice while understanding observed toxicities and adverse interactions.

There is a large volume of new data continuously being released about the optimal management of prostate and other genitourinary cancers. It is essential for practicing radiation oncologists to know the latest data and be able to integrate it into daily practice.

Target Audience

The activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists and radiation oncology residents.
