CHALLENGES IN ONCOLOGY: APPLICATION OF MODERN BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY TO CLINICAL CANCER CARE
Radiation therapy has been used in treatment of cancer and other diseases for over 100 years. Gain a comprehensive overview of how modern technology allows us to precisely target the tumor while maintaining the function of normal tissues (i.e. the physics and biology underlying the use of radiation therapy). Develop a strong foundational knowledge of basic oncology principles, begin to understand the biology and physics underlying radiation oncology treatments, interpret dose/volume histograms and normal-tissue complication probabilities, understand the role of modern imaging in the workup, treatment, and follow-up of cancer patients, and be able to discuss the major financial issues associated with various treatment modalities. It is anticipated that students will incorporate these concepts, knowledge, experiences, and evidence in their future clinical practice.
