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 cancer
- Discuss therapy for upper and lower GI malignancies
- Contrast decision making involved in therapy after mastectomy and after breast conservation
