ForwardAdvances in Sarcoma Treatment Webinar Series
Sarcomas are a rare and heterogenous group of malignancies requiring a multidisciplinary approach for optimal management. This webinar series, Advances in Sarcoma Treatment, will bring experts in oncology, radiology, radiation therapy and radiation oncology to discuss cutting-edge advancements in sarcoma diagnosis and treatment. The series is divided into three one-hour webinars, each focusing on a key aspect of sarcoma management: advanced imaging, complex sarcoma cases and novel radiation techniques.
This webinar series will serve as a valuable platform for sarcoma specialists to share knowledge, discuss challenging cases, and explore innovative approaches to treatment. The insights from these sessions will contribute to improving patient care and fostering collaborative efforts in sarcoma research and management.
TOPICS COVERED
- Imaging of Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Pearls and Pitfalls
- Data-informed Approaches for the Management of Angiosarcoma in the Modern Era
- Special Radiation Techniques in Sarcoma Management
Please see the Program tab for the session descriptions and presenters.
This activity is available from June 4, 2025 through 11:59 pm Eastern time on July 5, 2027.
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, surgeons, nurses, diagnostic radiologists, physicists, dosimetrists, radiation biologists, radiation therapists, pathologists, residents and allied healthcare professionals interested in sarcoma management.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to do the following:
- Understand the latest imaging modalities and AI applications in sarcoma diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Gain insight into the complexities of managing angiosarcoma and chordoma with emerging therapies.
- Learn about cutting-edge radiation therapy techniques that enhance treatment efficacy and reduce toxicity.
Imaging of Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Pearls and Pitfalls
Wednesday, July 2 - 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ET
- Stephen M. Broski, MD
- Moderator: Meng Welliver, MD, PhD
The purpose of this webinar is to review characteristic multimodality imaging features of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), discuss MRI imaging protocols, identify imaging features of STS that may allow for a specific diagnosis or narrow the differential diagnosis prior to biopsy, cover potential imaging pitfalls of STS, and discuss specific issues that may impact radiation therapy.
Data-informed Approaches for the Management of Angiosarcoma in the Modern Era
Monday, July 14 - 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm ET
- Parul Barry, MD
- Moderator: Meng Welliver, MD, PhD
Angiosarcoma is both aggressive and rare, and treatment approaches are varied. While those who receive multi-modal care routinely experience the best outcomes, often radiation oncology is not engaged in such decisions. This webinar will provide learners with guidance on how to best approach such difficult cases and advocate for when radiation could help patients afflicted with this deadly disease.
Special Radiation Techniques in Sarcoma Management
Friday, July 18 - 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm ET
- Anusha Kalbasi, MD
- Moderator: Meng Welliver, MD, PhD
There are many ongoing advances in the context of radiation therapy delivery for patients with primary soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity/trunk with emerging practice-changing clinical research and new treatment options, some of which are not yet standard of care. This presentation discusses new approaches in the management of sarcoma using radiation therapy, including novel fractionation schedules, novel dose strategies and novel combinations with systemic therapy.
