Personalized Radiotherapy Symposium (RP2502E)
Standard radiation therapy often follows a one-size-fits-all approach, despite patients responding differently to treatment. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), biomarker development, and immune-radiation therapy are paving the way toward personalized radiation therapy (RT). This symposium will highlight the latest developments in personalized RT, including current and emerging AI-driven strategies and the integration of diverse biomarkers derived from imaging, blood, genomics, the tumor microenvironment, and immune response. This symposium aims to foster collaboration and innovation, addressing both the current state and the future potential of personalized RT in clinical practice.
Target Audience
Radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, trainees, and allied health professionals interested in these transformative technologies.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the clinical evidence of a personalized radiotherapy.
- Comprehend the essential steps and expertise required throughout the adaptive therapy process.
- Identify the training needs and requirements for the healthcare team members involved in adaptive therapy.
- Investigate different staffing models for the healthcare teams implementing adaptive therapy.
- Assess collaborative dynamics, communication pathways, and coordination strategies within different team setups.
- Explore the active research and the future of adaptive therapy with advances in artificial intelligence, imaging, and combination with immunotherapy.
