Comprehensive Review of Radiation Oncology 2020 (CME VIDEOS)

Explore Key Topics

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
