Location: Westin Boston Seaport District
Harbor Ballroom I

  • Develop a radiation treatment plan that accounts for the overlapping pulmonary and cardiac toxicity risks of ADC-based systemic therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer.
  • Assess the implications of recent and emerging clinical trial data for the role of radiation therapy in early-stage and metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
  • Apply a multidisciplinary framework to integrate systemic and local therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer with brain metastases.

RPT Dosimetry: Why What Was Inherited from EBRT May Not Be Enough

Location: Westin Boston Seaport District
Grand Ballroom CD
425 Summer Street
Boston, MA 02210

CME Credits: This is a non-CME program.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion, learners will be better able to learners will be better able to:
  • Understand the differences between EBRT and RPT in terms of dose delivery mechanism, dose rate and distribution, and biological effect.
  • Explore why EBRT toxicity thresholds may not be directly applicable to RPT and evaluate the 23 Gy kidney dose threshold across both modalities.
  • Understand the clinical significance of inter-patient dosimetry variability.
  • Compare 2D versus 2D/3D hybrid dosimetry and STP versus multi-timepoint approaches, including the associated accuracy, resource, and workflow needs.
  • Explore data gaps and standardization needs and discuss how a multidisciplinary approach may advance this real-world clinical practice.
