Esta actividad educativa se enfoca en las técnicas para la delimitación de volúmenes en radioterapia, específicamente para tumores del sistema nervioso central.

This contouring activity focuses on primary and secondary brain tumors, including the planning/treatment of craniospinal irradiation (CSI) I for leptomeningeal disease, brain stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for intact and post operative brain metastases, and the treatment of glioma with a brief d

Over the last 10 years, new studies have emerged demonstrating efficacy and safety of re-irradiation for children with recurrent brain tumors.

HyTEC (Hypo-fractionated or “Hy”-dose per fraction, Treatment Effects in the Clinic) was an American Association of Physicists in Medicine-led initiative focusing on hypofractionated SBRT/SABR and stereotactic radiosurgery in adults.

This session highlights the most clinically relevant abstracts within the Central Nervous System track of the 2023 ASTRO Annual Meeting scientific program.

This session will focus on recent and emerging research in radiation oncology for patients with brain and spine tumors. Special emphasis will be placed on radiosurgery dose/fractionation selection, IDH inhibition in glioma and glioma contouring/targeting.

There have been many advances and evolutions in the treatment of primary and metastatic CNS tumors. There are different treatment planning and contouring guidelines for CNS tumors. Without a clear and consolidated understanding of best practices, this could affect quality of care.
