Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for early stage lung cancer has yielded outstanding outcomes comparable to radical resection.  The approach requires special technologic requirements and contouring expertise to be safely performed.   For locally advanced lung cancers, standard fractionatio

Difficult or controversial clinical cases are presented along with several different management plans favored by select specialists in that field, who provide thought-provoking viewpoints.

Accurate contouring of both tumors and critical avoidance structures improves tumor control and side effect profile. IGRT, SRS, and other techniques that minimize margin and take advantage of sharp dose fall-off, are unforgiving of inaccuracies in target and critical structure definition.

Knowledge of radiotherapy target volume delineation is crucial for accurate and effective delivery of radiotherapy for tumors of pancreatic and anorectal tumors. IMRT is being increasingly employed.

The increased conformality of planning techniques such as IMRT and VMAT make thoughtful, careful identification of anatomy and delineation of targets critical for good outcomes.

This course will involve the collaboration of three radiation oncologists with expertise in spine and lung SBRT.

The purpose of this eContouring course is to expand knowledge of breast and regional lymph node anatomy for radiation contouring and treatment planning, focusing on 3 clinical scenarios: partial breast radiation, whole breast radiation, and post-mastectomy radiation with comprehensive nodal cover
