Current principle and practice of treatment for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers are emphasized.

Learning Outcomes

  • Given a clinical scenario determine the most effective overall treatment plan for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers.
  • Determine the most appropriate beam modifiers, immobilization devices and set-up devices to use for cancers of the geitourinary, lyphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers given cancer stage, histology, and grade.
  • Determine the most appropriate beam energy doses for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoereticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers given a cancer stage, histology, and grade.
