Endometrial Cancer
This educational activity will address the recent knowledge acquired in endometrial cancer mainly the indications for adjuvant RT and chemotherapy and the role of concurrent chemoradiation in high risk and locally advanced disease as well as the optimal sequencing approach when both modalities are used. In addition, the interpretation and potential impact of molecular markers will be discussed given the recent publication of the European guidelines which based their recommendations on molecular markers. Last, the interpretation and optimal management of sentinel LN biopsy, isolated tumor cells findings and MELF will be addressed. Recently published prospective trials and ongoing clinical trials will be reviewed.
Cervical Cancer
This session will help to inform the general practitioner regarding updates in the management of cervical cancer.
Target Audience
The activity is designed to meet the interests of 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:
Endometrial Cancer
- Determine the indications for systemic therapy and radiation therapy in non-metastatic endometrial cancer.
- Understand the role of molecular markers and their potential impact on adjuvant therapy.
- Interpret the significance and interpretation of sentinel LN biopsy and isolated tumor cells in LN.
- Role of MELF in decision making.
- QOL after concurrent chemoradiation.
Cervical Cancer
- Understanding of the factors associated with local failure after definitive chemo-RT for cervical cancer.
- Understanding of the morbidities after definitive chemo-RT and how to reduce them.
- Understanding indications for post-operative treatment following surgery for earlier staged cervical cancer.
