​

Clinical sessions:

There will be five interactive multidisciplinary clinical sessions, where faculty will coordinate discussion on contouring, plan evaluation, patient specific QA, and imaging protocols in different clinical sites.

 

• How to develop site-wise protocols for PTV margins and image guidance in your department - Head and Neck Cancers, Gyne and Prostate Cancer

• Lung SBRT (indications, selected contours on Educase, patient selection and dose constraints)

• Cranial SRS (OARs and constraints, gamma-knife or Cyberknife vs linac based, QA)

• Breast DIBH and IMRT

• Liver SBRT (indications, liver toxicity and dose constraints, respiratory motion management during scanning and delivery)
