This refresher course will provide an overview of the treatment of prostate cancer with an emphasis on the role of radiation therapy in the treatment of localized disease, nodal disease, recurrent disease after prostatectomy and treatment of the primary in the setting of oligometastatic disease.
This session will focus on recent and emerging research in radiation oncology for patients with brain and spine tumors. Special emphasis will be placed on radiosurgery dose/fractionation selection, IDH inhibition in glioma and glioma contouring/targeting.
There have been many advances and evolutions in the treatment of primary and metastatic CNS tumors. There are different treatment planning and contouring guidelines for CNS tumors. Without a clear and consolidated understanding of best practices, this could affect quality of care.
This session will provide a global overview of breast radiotherapy indications, approaches and techniques, informed by the latest clinical trials and relevant research.
This session will include an introduction covering common head and neck cancer subtypes. Basics of head and neck anatomy will be reviewed. Subsequently, we will transition to a case-based approach that will demonstrate target volume design for common head and neck tumor types.
There are many ongoing advances in head and neck cancer in the context of radiation therapy delivery, clinical research on treatment options and advanced techniques in radiotherapy delivery. Failure to stay informed leads to lower quality of care by practicing clinicians.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly transforming the field of radiation therapy and offers exciting new tools including auto-contouring and patient-specific quality assurance.
This session will review diagnosis, staging, and treatment of uterine and cervical cancers, including surgery, systemic therapy, and radiation therapy. Focusing on radiation therapy, we will go through specific indications for radiation therapy.
