New Patient-Focused Paradigms in Gynecologic Cancer - 2020 Annual Meeting

This course is a collection of multidisciplinary experts providing updates on research that has helped redefine practice paradigms for patient-focused individualized care in gynecological cancers. The panel consists of an EMBRACE investigator providing updates on image-guided brachytherapy techniques from their prospective international protocol, a renowned nurse clinical trialist with a focus on patient-reported outcomes providing updates on sexual health after radiotherapy, a radiation oncology expert in SBRT providing updates on the role of radiotherapy in treating oligometastatic disease in gynecological cancers, and a gynecological oncologist discussing emerging data using novel agents to treat gynecological cancers. 
 

This activity is available from December 1 2020, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on November 30, 2023.

This activity was originally recorded at ASTRO’s virtual 2020 Annual Meeting, October 23-28th.
