This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations addressing the indications for radiation therapy (RT) for gastric cancer in a variety of clinical settings ranging from patients with resectable locoregional disease to metastatic and symptomatic disease.

A subset of patients with limited metastatic cancer coined oligometastatic disease can benefit from aggressive local therapy, such as SABR, thus prolong survival by eradicating all sites of visible cancer.

Despite the increasing recognition of the long-term effects of radiation therapy on pelvic health, many healthcare providers remain inadequately trained to address these specific issues.

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.

The ultimate goal of radiation oncology research is to improve clinical care. As a specialty, we tackle diverse research questions, addressing every type of cancer and encompassing cancer biology and radiation physics.

This program is designed to address the needs of a community practice physician and includes disease site reviews, interactive case-based discussions, a strategic dialogue with the ASTRO CEO and a radiation oncology practice overview.
