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.

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.

SBRT is an established treatment for adult patients with cancer. This paper provides a summary of the resources available to guide the use of SBRT in children and young adults with cancer. It also identifies opportunities for future work in this area.

Pancreato-biliary cancers, mainly pancreatic cancer and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, are almost uniformly fatal malignancies with increasing incidence and poor prognosis even when diagnosed in the early stages of the disease.

This activity focuses entirely on issues related to the Organs at Risk (OAR) in the setting of thoracic radiation. Discussion centers on protecting the OARs and managing acute and late toxicities. Each speaker focuses on a different clinical situation.

Conventionally fractionated external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) has a long-standing track record of safety and excellent treatment outcomes in the management of all prostate cancer risk groups.

Unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer is commonly encountered in clinical practice but there is relatively little data focusing on treatment outcomes specific and limited to this patient cohort, with most clinical trials grouping these patients with favorable intermediate-risk disease or

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

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.

Management of unknown primary head and neck squamous cell carcinomas has evolved as the incidence of p16 positive disease among head and neck cancer patients has increased.
