Challenging Cases in GI Malignancies - 2021 Annual Meeting
Challenging Cases in GI Malignancies - 2021 Annual Meeting is organized by American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).
Course opens: 12/17/2021
Course expires: 12/16/2024
Description :
The course is not designed to provide a full review of medical literature related to each disease, but to highlight critical points that can be incorporated into everyday medical decision-making. The goal is to present a mix of difficult scenarios that are commonly encountered in clinical practice (i.e. rectal cancer with oligometastases, decision making for total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer, locally advanced/borderline resectable pancreas cancer, primary liver cancer) with a few less common scenarios (i.e. cholangiocarcinoma) with which the audience may have less direct clinical familiarity but still encounter in a general practice setting.
Learning Objectives :
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Apply current best practices for radiotherapy in the management of borderline resectable pancreas cancer.
• Develop a framework for incorporating total neoadjuvant therapy and hypofractionated radiation in the management of rectal cancer.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
