Lung cancer screening is resulting in a higher incidence of early-stage lung cancer diagnoses. This commonly occurs among older patients with chronic lung disease who are at high risk for complications with attaining pathologic confirmation.

There are many advances in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in contouring and segmentation, as well as patient specific quality assurance.

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.

This activity reviews the basic concepts of staging, overall treatment paradigm, radiation specific recommendations, radiation simulation, planning and treatment aspects, and literature regarding extremity and retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas.

The treatment approaches for lung cancer are rapidly evolving and include integration of new systemic therapies (e.g., immunotherapy and targeted therapies) into combined modality approaches for non-metastatic disease and ablative radiation therapy approaches for oligometastatic disease.

This activity focuses on recent and emerging research in radiation oncology for patients with brain and spine tumors. Special emphasis is placed on radiosurgery dose/fractionation selection, IDH inhibition in glioma and glioma contouring/targeting.

Modern treatment options such as radiotherapy dose intensification (EBRT boost, brachytherapy or Papillon technique) or additional chemotherapy in total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancers have been shown to improve rectal preservation rates better than ever before.

This activity provides a global overview of breast radiotherapy indications, approaches and techniques, informed by the latest clinical trials and relevant research.

The management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) should be conducted in a multidisciplinary setting to offer individualized therapy. Most patients with HCC are not candidates for curative treatments because of tumor extent or underlying liver dysfunction.

Vaginal cuff brachytherapy (VBT) is a critical part of a radiation oncologist's practice and is routinely offered both at academic sites and within the community. However, in the modern era, many are stretched increasingly thin and have fewer resources to work with.
