2022 Refresher - Gynecological

Endometrial Cancer
This educational activity will address the recent knowledge acquired in endometrial cancer mainly the indications for adjuvant RT and chemotherapy and the role of concurrent chemoradiation in high risk and locally advanced disease as well as the optimal sequencing approach when both modalities are used. In addition, the interpretation and potential impact of molecular markers will be discussed given the recent publication of the European guidelines which based their recommendations on molecular markers. Last, the interpretation and optimal management of sentinel LN biopsy and isolated tumor cells findings will be addressed.

Cervical Cancer
This session will focus on providing updates in the management of cervical cancer.  It will focus on the use of modern imaging and treatment techniques which are rapidly being adopted.  This will include discussions of intensity modulated radiation therapy in the post-operative and definitive settings as well as how to integrate image guided adaptive brachytherapy.  In addition we will review updated guidelines for target and organ at risk suggested doses for definitive cervical cancer treatment.

 

Target Audience

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