This contouring activity reviews (1) indications for radiation therapy for soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) in adults; (2) dosing and contouring rationale for STS in adults; and (3) toxicity management and expectations for radiotherapeutic management for STS in adults.

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.

Bone sarcomas are routinely diagnosed in the adolescent and young adult population.

Sarcomas are rare tumors. There are numerous ongoing advances in radiation therapy dosing and delivery for soft tissue sarcoma. Many physicians do not routinely see these tumors in practice because of their rarity.

This session will review the basic concepts of staging, overall treatment paradigm, radiation specific recommendations, radiation simulation, planning and treatment aspects, and literature regarding extremity and retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas.

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 is comprised of a panel of four academic radiation oncologists from geographically different institutions. The activity is divided into an overview of sarcoma, treatment management recommendations, and finally specific techniques based on a variety of clinical scenarios.

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
