TARGET AUDIENCE

The activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents, radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists, medical oncologists, surgeons, physicists, nurses, pathologists, and urologists.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to do the following:

Discuss various techniques for breast cancer patient set-up and motion management.
Discuss hypofractionation and ultra-hypofractionation techniques.
Identify the different treatment strategies for sarcoma based on clinical presentation.
Implement different treatment techniques for sarcoma based on clinical scenario.
Discuss treatment of larynx cancers for different stages of disease.
Manage care of long-term survivors of larynx cancer.
Contour planning volumes to the current standard of care in lung cancer management.
Select appropriate dose/fractionation schedule for common palliative scenarios in lung cancer management.
Know appropriate fractionation schemes for retreatment in the central nervous system, head and neck, and prostate.
Understand the risk/benefit ration of retreatment in the central nervous system, head and neck, and prostate and be able to communicate this to patients.
Assess their existing brachytherapy capabilities for treatment of gynecologic cancers and evaluate ways to enhance access and capabilities in a community setting.
Select patients for appropriate treatment of recurrent or inoperable endometrial cancer and navigate anatomic or technical challenges to provide quality radiation care.
Incorporate information to improve the management of primary and metastatic brain tumors.
Return to their teams with techniques to improve their radiosurgery programs in the treatment of primary brain tumors.
Comfortably differentiate patients with oligometastatic disease that may benefit from radiation therapy in the context of recent supportive studies.
Assess their available resources and apply safe, effective radiation when indicated with greater comfort of dose, technique, timing, and prognostication principles specific to metastasis-directed radiation.
Discuss the multidisciplinary management of esophagogastric, borderline resectable pancreatic and rectal cancer.
Optimize radiation techniques and plans for esophagogastric, borderline resectable pancreatic and rectal cancer.
Assess updated dose limits to critical structures to minimize long term morbidity.
Determine what data and testing is available to tailor the use of androgen deprivation therapy in intermediate risk and post prostatectomy patients.
Explain the combinations and sequencing of systemic therapies for high risk, node positive, and metastatic prostate cancer patients.
