Overview

Radiation Oncology CME from the Experts

Comprehensive Review of Radiation Oncology consists of 30 one-hour lectures spanning a wide range of radiation therapy treatments that require a complex set of processes: diagnosis, consultation, simulation, contouring target volumes and normal tissue structures, treatment planning, chart review, treatment delivery, quality assurance, and patient follow-up. Authoritative and clinically experienced faculty guide you to more efficient, safer, and higher quality care for each patient. This online CME program will help you to better:

  • Describe delivery speed and dose rates of FLASH radiation therapy
  • List head and neck tumors for which radiotherapy is beneficial
  • Compare radiotherapy for brain metastases and primary brain tumors
  • Summarize differences in therapy for non-small versus small cell lung tumor
  • Discuss therapy for upper and lower GI malignancies
  • Contrast decision making involved in therapy after mastectomy and after breast conservation

PLEASE NOTE: The credit expiration date for this program is December 31, 2023. While you will no longer be able to earn CME credits after that date, you'll have access to the content until December 31, 2025.
