2022 eContouring for Central Nervous System Cancer Webinar

This educational activity provides case-based education on neuroanatomic contouring for the two most common brain tumors seen in radiation oncology practice: brain metastases and glioma. Participants contour tumor targets for intact brain metastases, a resected brain metastasis, and a resected glioblastoma. Participants contour radiosensitive normal tissue structures, including the hippocampal dentate gyrus, the optic chiasm/nerves, the brainstem, the cochlea, and the lenses. Through this practice and didactic feedback, participants learn principles of neuroanatomic contouring that better equip them to radiotherapeutically manage primary and metastatic brain tumor patients.

This webinar was sponsored by the ROI Juan A. del Regato Fund.

This activity is available from September 22, 2022, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on September 21, 2025.

The content was originally presented and recorded as a live webinar on September 22, 2022.

Target Audience

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

Learning Objectives
