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.

Patient fertility and sexual complications have few data available from clinical trials. It is noteworthy that the subject is infrequently discussed in institutional peer reviews/ M&M unless there is a Risk Management overlay.

Radiation therapy-induced erectile dysfunction (RI-ED) occurs in over 50% of men treated for prostate cancer. The etiologies are likely multifactorial, consisting of a neurological, vascular and endocrine component.

This session highlights the most clinically relevant abstracts within the Head and Neck Cancer track of the 2024 ASTRO Annual Meeting scientific program. These noteworthy scientific abstracts share important findings and feature cutting-edge research from leaders in the field.

Bone radiotherapy (RT) is a foundation of the discipline and represents a significant portion of many practices. The standard protocols for palliative RT (8Gy x 1, 4Gy x 5, etc.) were pioneered almost 50 years ago, when systemic therapies were far less useful.

Tumor phylogenetics (or cancer phylogenetics) is the scientific method used to consider cancer biology through the lens of computational evolutionary biology.

FLASH radiation therapy (FLASH-RT), delivered with ultra high dose rate (UHDR), may allow patients to be treated with less normal tissue toxicity for a given tumor dose compared with currently used conventional dose rate.

This activity, sponsored by the ASTRO Early Career Committee, provides learners with opportunities to engage with common topics crucial in the early career period, including contract negotiation, financial planning and academic promotion.

This session highlights the most clinically relevant abstracts within the Gastrointestinal Cancer track of the 2024 ASTRO Annual Meeting scientific program.

Breast cancer recurrence after prior definitive multimodality treatment is an increasingly common clinical situation faced by practitioners, with long-term new primary or recurrent non-metastatic locoregional recurrence developing not infrequently over 10 years following initial treatment.
