Red Journal Oncology Scans - 2025

The field of cancer is a rapidly evolving field with new treatment approaches moving to clinic on a daily basis. Radiation Oncology is no different. It is extremely difficult for a practicing clinician to stay abreast of new developments in cancer care. This course serves to crystallize the “best practices” for the disease sites commonly encountered in a busy radiation oncology clinic by providing the latest research and evidence. This course serves to provide the clinician with insight into emerging trends in the field of radiation oncology.
