An estimated 90% of patients treated with radiotherapy for breast cancer will develop radiation-induced dermatitis. On the molecular level, radiation upregulates cytokine cascades and fibro-inflammatory pathways, leading to substantial fibrosis, the hallmark of chronic RT damage.

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 multi-session course provides a practical, evidence-based overview of contemporary palliative radiation oncology, with a focus on optimizing symptom relief, treatment selection, and supportive care for patients with advanced malignancies.

This session provides an overview about palliative radiation for head and neck and skin malignancies. It focuses on a brief review of the available evidence supporting palliative radiation therapy for these diseases and help participants identify resources to help guide them in application.

This activity is a case-based discussion on the role of radiation therapy in the treatment of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. We have three academic physicians representing three different geographic locations within the United States, from the east coast, west coast and sun belt region.
