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

The role of this activity reviews growing indications for radiation therapy for liver cancer, educates providers on radiation therapy options (SBRT, particle therapy) and the potential impact of hepatic reserve capacity on decision making, explores challenges and opportunities for clinical trials

There are many effective liver-directed loco-regional therapies for limited liver metastases including advanced techniques/approaches in surgery, radiation therapy, and interventional radiology.

This contouring activity features celiac plexus radiosurgery, a new technique for pain control in pancreatic cancer. The results of an international phase II study were positive (presented at the 2022 ASTRO Annual Meeting as a late-breaking oral abstract).

The field of cancer is a rapidly evolving field with new treatment approaches moving to clinic on a daily basis. Radiation Oncology is no different. It is extremely difficult for a practicing clinician to stay abreast of new developments in cancer care.

This activity focuses on the multidisciplinary care of liver and pancreatic cancer highlighting the role of radiation therapy.

This program is designed to address the needs of a community practice physician and includes disease site reviews, interactive case-based discussions, a business fundamentals review and a radiopharmaceuticals overview.

Celiac plexus radiosurgery is a new technique for pain control in pancreatic cancer. The results of an international phase II study were positive (presented at the 2022 ASTRO Annual Meeting as a late-breaking oral presentation).

This session will evaluate contouring of Upper GI tumors and may include a discussion about esophageal cancers, stomach cancers, pancreatic, hepatobiliary and liver cancers.

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.
