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.

Modern treatment options such as radiotherapy dose intensification (EBRT boost, brachytherapy or Papillon technique) or additional chemotherapy in total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancers have been shown to improve rectal preservation rates better than ever before.

The management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) should be conducted in a multidisciplinary setting to offer individualized therapy. Most patients with HCC are not candidates for curative treatments because of tumor extent or underlying liver dysfunction.

The contouring activity focuses on MR-guided radiation therapy contouring techniques tailored specifically for pancreatic cancer stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). This activity reviews MR imaging to delineate target volumes and critical structures with precision.

Anal cancer rates are increasing, and there is a need to improve coordination across the spectrum of anal cancer care, from diagnosis, treatment, recovery and survivorship. Failure to understand the roles of all the multidisciplinary aspects of care leads to suboptimal patient care.
