Comprehensive Review of Radiation Oncology

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
