Management of Radiation Side Effects: Focus on Thoracic and Gynecologic Malignancies

Webinar Information

Webinar Description

Radiation therapy is commonly used in the management of a variety of malignancies. Radiation treatments can have side effects that depend on overall radiation dose, site of radiation, and proximity to organs at risk.

This talk will detail the management of side effects that may occur with courses of thoracic and gynecologic radiotherapy.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify acute and late toxicities of thoracic and gynecologic radiation
  • Explain the management of radiation toxicities
  • Recognize radiation toxicities that require urgent management
