eContouring for Breast

This session focuses on evidence-based breast cancer contouring practices. We cover accelerated partial breast irradiation, whole breast contouring with considerations for different fractionation schedules, breast boost volumes including simultaneous integrated boosts, regional nodal irradiation volumes including internal mammary nodal boosts, and how volumes may differ when IMRT versus 3-D photon vs. electron techniques are used.

Target Audience

The meeting is designed to meet the interests of practicing radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents, medical and clinical physicists, radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists, nurses and all other health professionals involved in the field of radiation oncology.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to do the following:

  • Identify resources for breast cancer contouring.
  • Describe and perform contouring for accelerated partial breast and regional nodal cases.
  • Describe and perform contouring for simultaneous integrated boost cases.
