This eContouring session will focus on primary and secondary brain tumors, including the planning/treatment of CSI for leptomeningeal disease, brain SRS for intact and post operative brain metastases, and the treatment of glioma with a brief discussion and application of different MRI sequences.

With this activity, ASTRO continues its series of challenging case panel sessions related to palliative radiotherapy for patients with advanced cancer.

Palliative radiotherapy (RT) is a foundation of the discipline and practically represents a significant portion of most practices. The standard protocols for palliative RT (8Gy x 1, 4Gy x 5, etc.) were pioneered almost 50 years ago, when systemic therapies were far less useful.

This journal activity provides practitioners with the knowledge needed to aid in identifying which patients may benefit from brain metastasis-directed radiation therapy. Understanding these factors may help patients and their families clarify their goals of care.

This joint session was developed between the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS).

This session reviews the recent data for the sequence and timing of targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors and radiation therapy for patients with brain metastases.

This journal activity provides practitioners with additional knowledge to aid making treatment decisions about the use of proton therapy for intracranial tumors, and to effectively counsel patients considering proton therapy about the risks to short-term cognition.

The session will review the current clinical management of the most common malignant and benign adult CNS tumors. This review will provide an overview of the current clinical practice in the treatment of brain metastases.
