eContouring for Prostate Cancer
We will start with a brief review of anatomy in CT and MRI followed by a brief discussion of how to deliver a boost based on the FLAME trial. Then we will follow with a review of the postoperative contouring guidelines and the update to the pelvic lymph nodes contouring guidelines. We will then finish reviewing contours for previously assigned cases.
Target Audience
This program is designed to meet the interest of radiation oncologists and radiation oncology residents.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply changes in the contouring of pelvic lymph nodes based on the most recent contouring guidelines.
- Contour volumes for patients undergoing radiation therapy in the postoperative setting.
- Implement the use of MRI for contouring of volumes in patients with intact prostate cancer.
