ForwardMolecular Radiogenomics
The optimal multidisciplinary treatment strategies for patients receiving radiation treatments are evolving in the era of precision medicine. Moreover, it is increasingly evident that the genetic composition of tumors affects radiation treatment sensitivity. This activity will review salient genetic biomarkers that impact the treatments of cancer patients with radiation.
Target Audience
The meeting is designed to meet the interests of practicing radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents, medical and clinical physicists, 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:
- Identify best practice genetic biomarkers testing across common cancer types.
- Indicate optimal treatment recommendations on the basis of genetically-stratified populations.
- Recognize state-of-the-art new biomarker studies that are likely to change practice.
