Radiotherapy has benefits for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC), particularly in improving local control and palliating symptoms. The role of radiotherapy in enhancing overall survival remains uncertain.

The ultimate goal of radiation oncology research is to improve clinical care. As a specialty, we tackle diverse research questions, addressing every type of cancer and encompassing cancer biology and radiation physics.

This session highlights the most clinically relevant abstracts within the Gastrointestinal Cancer track of the 2024 ASTRO Annual Meeting scientific program.

This eContouring activity reviews best practices for primary hepatobiliary contouring, including the integration of 4DCT imaging and MRI fusion.

Management of unresectable gall bladder cancer (GBC) is challenging, and it can be especially so in Low-to-Middle Income Countries (LMIC), as <50% of patients complete the standard 6 cycles of CT.  This article presents the results of a single center, open label, randomized trial evaluating co

This course is designed to provide clinicians in practice and trainees with a comprehensive review and update of the clinical practice parameters across most major sub-disciplines of radiation oncology, including sarcomas, pediatrics and lymphomas, and the role of radiotherapy in the multidiscipl
