Unleash the Future of Radiation Oncology: ASTRO Annual Meeting 2022

The ASTRO Annual Meeting is the premier radiation oncology scientific event in the world, attracting over 11,000 attendees each year. The 2022 meeting promises to be an unforgettable experience, exploring the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence in “Caring for the Patient in a Wireless World.”

This year’s theme focuses on the potential of AI, Big Data, and the latest scientific breakthroughs, while highlighting the central role of human interaction in patient care. The comprehensive program will delve into the challenges and changes in radiation oncology practice in response to the global pandemic, as well as approaches to serving underrepresented minority and rural patients.

Expert presentations and discussions will center around effective practices to reduce treatment side effects, emphasizing patient quality and safety issues in the delivery of radiation therapy. This includes advanced radiation techniques such as stereotactic body radiation therapy. The program will also address disease sites most commonly treated in radiation oncology, equipment and software used, terminology, and professional responsibilities.

A key aspect of the meeting will be the involvement of patients and patient advocates, providing valuable input in all aspects of the event. This continuing medical education activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncology residents, radiation biologists, radiation physicists, dosimetrists, oncologists working in related specialties, radiation therapists, radiation oncology nurses, radiation oncology administrators, diagnostic radiologists, and all other health professionals involved in the field of radiation oncology.

Learning Objectives:

• Implement advances in radiation oncology technology that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
• Employ quality and safety measures in the delivery of radiation therapy.
• Develop a broad understanding of all cancer treatments available to patients.
• Demonstrate ways to incorporate a person-centered approach in providing patient care.
