eContouring for Head and Neck Cancer - Tongue - Case Library
This activity includes an introduction covering common head and neck cancer subtypes. Basics of head and neck anatomy are reviewed. Subsequently, we transition to a case-based approach that will demonstrate target volume design for common head and neck tumor types.
This course includes two practice contouring cases
Cases Covered:
Case 1: Definitive Radiotherapy for Oropharyngeal Cancer
60 yo male (ECOG 0) who presents with a history of right sided otalgia and odonophagia, found to have a base of tongue mass.
Case 2: Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Oral Tongue Cancer
23 yo female (ECOG 0) who presents with stage IVA (pT3N2b) SCC of the left oral tongue status post resection and left neck dissection.
This activity is available from August 14, 2024, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on August 23, 2026.
The content was originally presented and recorded on April 17, 2024, at the 2024 ASTRO Annual Refresher Course.
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:
- Describe patterns of spread based on primary tumor location and develop appropriate CTVs to target potential microscopic disease.
- Translate pathological findings into adjuvant target volumes in post-operative cases.
- Develop dose painting strategies for common cases of head and neck cancer.
