Radiation Therapy: A Summary for the Breast MDT

 

Welcome to ASBD's  Radiation Oncology Online Learning Modules! The recorded lectures from the Radiation Oncology webinar broadcast live in March 2022, along with online quizzes form the basis of the Radiation Oncology Online Learning Modules. 

Learn about Radiation Therapy indications, benefits, side effects and techniques used in breast cancer management from our expert Radiation Oncologist.

Listen to how Radiotherapy recommendations are made in the Breast MDT as well as current and emerging trends in breast cancer management.

Radiation Therapy: A Summary for the Breast MDT has been developed by the ASBD to provide multidisciplinary medical professionals working with breast cancer patients:

• a relevant educational opportunity to understand the concepts and terminology of radiation therapy treatment
• a better understanding of patient selection, side effects and the latest in radiation therapy treatment
• and to achieve better patient care by creating a resource for the MDT members to better appreciate radiation therapy as a treatment for breast cancer.
