4 Clinical Oncology and Dosimetric Considerations The course consists of a series of site specific oncology lectures given by radiation oncologist lecturers. After completing this course, the medical dosimetrist should be able to participate in the discussion about optimal treatment planning for specific anatomical sites and offer helpful suggestions when asked. Cancers of the Head and Neck Cancers of the Central Nervous System Cancers of the Gastrointestinal Tract esopho-gastric, pancreas, liver, rectum, anal Cancers of the Genitourinary Tract - prostate, bladder, testis Gynecologic Malignancies cervix, uterine, vulvar, vaginal, ovarian The Lymphomas Cancers of the Skin melanoma, non-melanoma, mycosis fungoides Breast Cancer Pediatric Malignancies Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas Benign Malignancies Metastic Disease Discussions include: Anatomy, Pathology, Physiology, Lymphatic Drainage Treatment Techniques and Beam Arrangements Dose Calculation Considerations Critical Organs and Dose Limiting Factors Positioning and Immobilization Age Specific Considerations
5 Medical Physics for Radiation Oncology I Medical Physics I covers nuclear physics, production of X-rays, and ionizing radiation. The course provides the basis for the field of medical physics and the production of radiation. Review of Math and Physics Concepts Structure of Matter Production of X-rays Calculations Nuclear Transformations Clinical Radiation Generators Interactions of Ionizing Radiation Medical Physics for Radiation Oncology II Medical Physics II addresses the physics considerations for measurement of absorbed dose, dose distributions, dosimetric calculations, treatment planning for photons, electrons and brachytherapy, other advanced technologies and quality assurance from the physicist point of view. Measurement of Ionizing Radiation Measurement of Absorbed Dose System of Dosimetric Calculations Patient Data, Corrections, Setup Electron Beam Therapy Quality Assurance Total Body Irradiation Stereotactic Radiosurgery Quality of X Ray Beams Dose Distribution and Scatter Analysis Isodose Distributions Field Considerations Brachytherapy 3D Conformal / IMRT Planning Monte Carlo Introduction Proton Planning
6 Independent Study / Research in Radiation Oncology This course is comprised of two separate components, both of which highlight the student s ability to work independently as well as oral and written communication skills. Each student prepares treatment plans requiring advanced planning skills and the ability to interpret the physician s written instructions or a clinical protocol for assigned site-specific data sets. All aspects of the planning processes are critiqued by members of the physics/dosimetry staff in an open discussion peer review format where they are judged on contouring skills, plan optimization, following ICRU guidelines, protocols, oral communication skills, critical thinking skills, and time management. In addition, each student works independently on a research project, preparing both a written research paper and a power point presentation on a treatment planning topic of their choice. The paper is written in a format consistent with the AAMD/CIVCO student writing competition guidelines published on the AAMD website page. It is highly recommended that the students submit their research to the student writing contest or as a potential poster presentation for the AAMD. Examples of Advanced Planning Cases: 3D Intact Breast Compensation Methods 3D Techniques for Chestwall & Nodal Volumes IMRT Techniques for Chestwall & Nodal Volumes IMRT Head/Neck with SIB Technique IMRT Prostate Multiple Phase Technique 3D SIB Technique for the Pancreas Protocol Sarcoma of an Extremity Planning Methods 3D Planning for the Partial Brain IMRT Planning for the Partial Brain IMRT Pelvis for Anal or Vulvar planning SBRT Planning for the Lung-Liver-Spine
