BOOST: Gynecology—Case-based Review (An Interactive Session)

Multisession Courses — Genitourinary Radiology, Oncologic Imaging, Radiation Oncology,

Presented on December 2, 2014

Participants

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Present the multidisciplinary management of gyneocolgic cancers including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. 2) Highlight the importance of diagnostic imaging before, during and after treatment. 3) Highlight the importance of imaging in the planning and delivery of radiation.

ABSTRACT

The care of patients with gyneocologic cancers requires the collaboration of imaging specialists as well as gynecologic and radiation oncologists. Patterns of disease spread and recurrence have tremendous impact on the managment of these patients, and diagnostic imaging is key in defining disease at diagnosis and following patients for detection of recurrence after treatment. Image-guided radiation is considered the standard of care for both the planning of external beam and brachytherapy and is key in maximizing the benefits of radiation while minimizing the risks. Case examples of the pivotal imapct of imaging and its importance in multidisiplinary care will be highlighted in this session.
