Course Material
Overview
This exercise consists of participants reading a short clinical vignette about the breast cancer case. Then they will prepare by contouring specified volumes on certain specified CT slices.
During the webinar, Dr. Michael Stauder will go over the specified volumes and slices, discuss about various breast contouring guidelines, talk about why he contoured the way he did, and then compare the teachers’ contours with the participants and offer suggestions.
Audience
This program is designed to meet the interest of radiation oncologists and radiation oncology residents.
Program
Each of the workshop sessions will last for two hours. The session will cover the following areas:
-
(Pre-course) Access to platform and hands-on contouring by participants
-
Short talks each by sub-site surgeon, radiation oncologist and radiologist
-
Presentation of the case and delineation guidelines used
-
Breakout session to review participants’ contours in comparison to the reference contours
-
Summary of key points by expert panel
-
Discussion between participants and experts
Learning Objectives
-
Describe clinical and anatomical rationale for the selection of clinical target volume and organs at risk delineation
-
To be aware of the common pitfalls in delineation
-
To be familiar with surgical approaches, including oncoplastic techniques.
-
Learn about various imaging modalities used in pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy
