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 discusses some of the newer treatment techniques, including stereotactic body radiation (SBRT), adaptive radiation therapy and protons being utilized in gynecologic cancer.
Brachytherapy is an invaluable tool in the radiation oncologist's toolbox, but the perceived proficiency among residents has been variable and there is great diversity in how programs deliver brachytherapy.
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 program is designed to address the needs of a community practice physician and includes disease site reviews, interactive case-based discussions, a strategic dialogue with the ASTRO CEO and a radiation oncology practice overview.
This session provides an overview of the treatment of vulvar and vaginal cancer, review current data regarding the role of radiation therapy in the treatment of localized disease and nodal disease, and explore current treatment paradigms.
This activity reinforces the value of brachytherapy in the curative treatment of patients with advanced gynecologic cancers and details the challenges in operationalizing complex gynecologic brachytherapy within a busy external beam department.
Patient fertility and sexual complications have few data available from clinical trials. It is noteworthy that the subject is infrequently discussed in institutional peer reviews/ M&M unless there is a Risk Management overlay.
