EDU 32 - Data to Dialogue: Techniques and Outcomes for Optimizing Mircroboosting in Prostate Cancer

05:00pm - 06:00pm ET

MODERATOR(S)

Emily Weg, MD - Weill Cornell Medicine

session DESCRIPTION

Microboosting in prostate cancer can improve PSA control outcomes and is isotoxic based on level 1 evidence. Despite this, its adoption in practice is slow. There are many reasons for this including comfort in appropriately contouring the dominant intraprostatic lesion, defining appropriate CTV/PTV margins, and planning constraints. The work flow with different techniques (CT based, MRI based, brachy based) for microboosting are also different and each has specific pros/cons. The purpose of this session is to review the various ways of doing a microboost to help the audience feel more comfortable with microboosting and determining the way that will work best in their practice to start doing this.

learning objectives

  1. Discuss contouring tools to support microboosting in prostate cancer.
  2. Discuss the workflow for microboosting with CT and MRI based platforms.
  3. Discuss the workflow for microboosting with a brachytherapy based platform.
