Lymphomas
In this session we will review current principles and data supporting the utilization of radiation therapy for patients with hematologic malignancies. We will explore current treatment paradigms as well as modern radiation treatment techniques that are utilized in this patient population. We will examine the indications for cellular therapies and how radiation therapy can serve as a therapeutic partner for the treatment of refractory disease.
