Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer: What Is Our Current Role and Where Are Our Future Opportunities - ARC2019
This course reviews the state-of-the-art treatment approaches for lung cancer. The presentation will include best-practices for lung cancer: (1) role of lung cancer screening, (2) staging, (3) appropriate clinical work-up, (4) incorporating multi-modality imaging, (5) advanced radiation treatment planning (IMRT, SABR, hypofractionated), (6) using modern image-guidance and advanced delivery techniques (non-coplanar therapy, proton therapy, MR-guided radiotherapy). The course will also review the relevant evidence-based literature on the incorporation of radiotherapy for stages I-IV for Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), oligometastatic NSCLC, as well as limited and extensive stage SCLC.
This activity is available from May 24, 2019, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on May 23, 2022.
This activity was originally recorded at ASTRO’s 2019 Annual Refresher Meeting, April 5-7, 2019 in New Orleans, LA.
Target Audience
The activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents, physicists, nurses, radiation therapists, and radiation dosimetrists.
Learning Objectives
- Explore the role of lung cancer screening, best-practices using low-dose CT for lung cancer screening, who are the optimal candidates to offer lung cancer screening, and the best treatment options for screen-detected early stage lung cancer
- Identify who are inoperable early stage NSCLC lung cancer patients, and use best-practices to deliver the highest quality SABR for these patients
- Match optimal chemoradiotherapy to patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC in conjunction with consolidative durvalumab.
- Identify optimal candidates with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive NSCLC that will most likely derive a clinical benefit with aggressive local consolidative therapies (e.g. surgery or SABR).
