ForwardeContouring for Sarcomas
Sarcomas are rare tumors. There are numerous ongoing advances in radiation therapy dosing and delivery for soft tissue sarcoma. Many physicians do not routinely see these tumors in practice because of their rarity. Failure to stay informed of current expert thinking on dosing and contouring leads to lower quality of care for patients with this rare malignancy.
This session will review indications for RT for STS in adults. We will review dosing and contouring rationale for STS in adults. We will review toxicity management and expectations for radiotherapeutic management for STS in adults.
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.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to do the following:
- Identify the contouring principles for soft tissue sarcoma in adults.
- Describe dosing principles for pre-operative and post-operative RT for STS in adults.
- Identify basic indications for RT for STS in adults.
