2022 Annual Meeting - ASTRO/ASCO/SNO Joint Session - Brain Metastases: A Case-Based Interactive Overview of the 2022 ASTRO and ASCO/SNO/ASTRO Practice Guidelines

This joint session was developed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) and American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO). Published in 2022, two evidence-based guidelines for the management of brain metastases were developed by multi-disciplinary expert panels. The first, jointly developed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) and American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), was meant to inform multi-disciplinary clinical practice. The second, sponsored by ASTRO and endorsed by ASCO, was intended to expand on this collaborative effort to address key clinical questions specific to radiation oncology practice.

This Educational Session will 1) address key recommendations from both of these guidelines through case-based interactive discussions; 2) review advanced radiotherapy techniques and technologies, neurosurgical approaches and CNS-active systemic therapies; and, 3) highlight the importance of a patient-centered multi-disciplinary decision-making process to modern brain metastasis management. Audience participation will be encouraged through interactive feedback based on multiple-choice questions to the audience about how they would manage cases.

Target Audience

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

Learning Objectives

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

    • Describe key recommendations from the ASCO/SNO/ASTRO jointly sponsored Brain Metastasis Guideline and the separate ASTRO Brain Metastasis Guideline.
    • Discuss advanced radiotherapy techniques and technologies, neurosurgical resection and CNS-active systemic therapies.
    • Implement this knowledge in the development of a patient-centered multi-disciplinary decision-making process.
