2023 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 major sub-disciplines of radiation oncology, including sarcomas, pediatrics and lymphomas, and the role of radiotherapy in the multidisciplinary management of cancer patients. The course will review key evidence that forms the basis for current clinical practice guidelines and trends in new approaches. In addition, the course will cover 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. It will also provide hands-on experience in contouring for lung, prostate and liver. It will also inform on the emerging field of theranostics and the use of radiopharmaceuticals in the treatment of select patients with cancer.
Target Audience
The activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists and radiation oncology residents.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to do the following:
- Describe and implement the latest radiation therapy treatment recommendations for clinical scenarios commonly encountered in clinical practice.
- Safely utilize the latest radiation technologies to improve patient care.
- Incorporate hypofractionation into appropriate disease sites.
- Appropriately and safely incorporate the treatment of oligometastases into clinical practice.
- Describe the value of radiopharmaceuticals in the care of patients with cancer and the role that radiation oncologists may have in this practice.
