This activity presents a multi-part session starting with two primarily didactic sessions on mentorship for the early career radiation oncologist and practice building.

Recent publications have established SBRT as the standard of care in painful spine metastases. As a result, spine SBRT is being increasingly utilized in both academic and community practices, rendering this educational activity timely.

The Cancer Breakthroughs activity brings together several medical societies in a collaborative effort to provide a summary of this year’s groundbreaking cancer studies.

This activity will begin with a review of the data for hypofractionation of regional nodal irradiation (RNI). That review will cover patients with intact breasts, post-mastectomy without reconstruction and post-mastectomy with reconstruction.

Brachytherapy is a critical component to the optimal management of locally advanced cervical cancer. However, due to many factors, its use was declining in the 2010s and when brachytherapy is omitted, patient outcomes are worse.

This program is designed to address the needs of a community practice physician and includes disease site reviews, interactive case-based discussions, a coding update and a scientific overview.

With this activity, ASTRO continues its series of challenging case panel sessions related to palliative radiotherapy for patients with advanced cancer.

Palliative radiotherapy (RT) is a foundation of the discipline and practically represents a significant portion of most 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.

This activity provides an in-depth exploration of advanced quantitative imaging techniques for personalized radiotherapy, focusing on addressing barriers to clinical implementation and improving the management of lung toxicity.

Radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPTs) are increasingly utilized for treatment of prostate, neuroendocrine, thyroid and other cancers.
