Description
This review provides senior trainees and/or clinicians in practice a comprehensive update of clinical knowledge and helps prepare them for their Radiation Oncology exams (the initial certification and MOC). Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care as well as new concepts, treatments, and imaging approaches. The written exams emphasize anatomy, epidemiology, etiological agents, natural history, pathology, tumor markers, initial clinical evaluation, staging, routes of spread, selection of treatment modality and techniques, surgical and chemotherapy adjuvant treatments, follow-up treatment and evaluation, patterns of failure, and normal tissue effects including complications; all of these areas are addressed. The review also covers the basic principles of radiobiology and physics that are relevant to clinical practice.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this course each participant should be able to perform the following tasks for all cancers of the eleven ABR defined component areas:
- Describe the anatomy, epidemiology/etiologic agents, and natural history
Explain the pathology and use of tumor markers - Describe the initial clinical evaluation, staging, and routes of disease spread (local and distant)
- Summarize potential treatment modalities including optimum beam and radiation sources, volume and dose calculations, as well as fractionation
- Discuss follow-up treatment and evaluation, patterns of failure, and normal tissue effects
- Discuss the use of multimodality therapies including sequence, interactions, and specific agents
- Describe brachytherapy applications and issues for all disease sites
Outline the use of palliative care for brain, hepatic and skeletal lesions, plus various obstructive scenarios - Implement a basic program of ethics, patient safety and quality assurance in clinical practice
