Forward2022 ASTRO Annual Refresher Course onDemand
This course is designed to provide clinicians in practice and trainees with a comprehensive review and update of the clinical practice parameters across most sub-disciplines of radiation oncology, including sarcomas, pediatrics and the role of radiotherapy in the multidisciplinary management of cancer patients. The course reviews key evidence that forms the basis for current clinical practice guidelines and trends in new approaches. In addition, the course covers implementation of hypofractionation in key disease sites as well as treatment of oligometastases and use of SBRT to improve outcomes for patients with metastatic disease.
This activity was originally presented and recorded at the 2022 ASTRO Annual Refresher Course. This activity is available from March 28, 2022, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on March 27, 2025.
