This educational activity explores the role of gynecologic re-irradiation using brachytherapy (GRIB) as a salvage treatment option for patients with loco-regionally recurrent gynecologic cancers who have previously received radiation therapy.

Cancer treatment guidelines are drafted to ensure appropriate use of existing evidence and promote safe practice. While guidelines strive to keep pace with research and new technology, they often don’t address the ground level situation in community practice especially for LMIC.

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.

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.

This journal activity provides practitioners with the knowledge needed to identify major prognostic factors and the role of RT in locally advanced endometrial cancer, emphasizing multimodality therapy and molecular risk stratification in and highlighting the growing role of immunotherapy and prec

This activity discusses discusses key and nuanced contouring concepts for vulvar and vaginal cancers. It includes bony and more novel anatomic landmarks. Additionally, simulation options are reviewed.

This education activity reviews the evidence on the impact of radiotherapy on sexual health in patients with gynecological malignancies, using a systematic review methodology. This activity describes sexual dysfunction prevalence and severity, trajectories, and contributing factors.

In contradistinction to many other malignancies, gynecologic cancers continue to rise in incidence and/or mortality. By 2030, endometrial cancer will be one of the top three female cancers, exceeding colon cancer rates.

For the practical radiation oncology program, this activity includes three speakers for education on the following complex presentations for managing advanced stage gynecologic cancer patients.

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.
