Challenging Cases in Cervix Cancer - 2021 Annual Meeting
Challenging Cases in Cervix Cancer - 2021 Annual Meeting is organized by American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).
Course opens: 01/10/2022
Course expires: 01/09/2025
Description :
This course presents challenging cases of women with cervix cancer, either due to poorly studied disease subsets (e.g. para-aortic nodal disease management and nodal recurrent disease), newer advances in standard intracavitary brachytherapy( eg hybrid brachytherapy indications and implementation), technically challenging distributions of disease (e.g. IIIA and IVA cervix cancer needing complex interstitial brachytherapy) or newly controversial subjects in when and how radiation therapy should be used and integrated with systemic therapy (e.g. oligometastatic and oligoprogressive recurrent cervix cancer).
Learning Objectives :
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Explain the rationale and choice for radiation therapy in cervix cancer with extensive nodal disease.
• Determine the best brachytherapy treatment options for asymmetric large primary cervical cancers and choice of hybrid brachytherapy technique AND image-based complex interstitial brachytherapy approach for Stage IIIA and IV A cervix cancer.
• Determine the ideal approach for integrating radiation and systemic therapy for cervix cancer.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
