STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIATION THERAPY (SBRT) TRAINING PROGRAM

Radiation oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, administrators and radiation therapists interested in implementing SBRT into clinical practice are encouraged to attend this program.  

The primary focus of this two-day non-CME course is to help oncology programs in both large and small centers, academic and community practice learn about the proper implementation of a viable and effective SBRT treatment practice.   Covered topics will include evolution of SBRT from roots in image-guided 3-D conformal therapy and radiosurgery toward ablation of tumors in the body, guidelines for proper treatment conduction, billing, and compliance, physics and dosimetry of SBRT with attention to unique requirements beyond conventional radiotherapy and IMRT, clinical outcomes and treatment patterns in spine, liver, lung, GI and GU cancers, and description of various treatment platforms in clinical operation.
