BACK TO BASICS: Focusing on Science
WELCOME!
This year’s CyberKnife® Society Scientific Meeting will be held March 26 - 27, 2010 at The Fairmont Dallas located in downtown Dallas, Texas. Be sure to arrive on Thursday, March 25, as the program will begin promptly at 7am on Friday.
In the interest of your busy schedules and cost savings for all, this year's program has been condensed to 1.5 days – back to basics and focusing on science. This shortened program necessitates an early start with an agenda packed with only the highest quality clinical and technical presentations. As in previous years, the Physics session will run concurrent to general session allowing for the maximum number of technical presentations.
Something new this year is the integration of new and clinically compelling treatment protocols into general session. The second half-day will focus entirely on Performance Improvement cases submitted, selected and presented by CyberKnife Users from around the globe. Undoubtedly you will receive an incredible amount of information during these two days – please register early as space will be limited.
We look forward to seeing you!
STATEMENT OF NEED
Advances in the applications, technologies and methodologies of CyberKnife Radiosurgery continue to evolve rapidly, creating a need for continual learning. The 9th Annual CyberKnife Meeting Scientific Meeting is designed to disseminate new scientific findings and technical innovations and expand basic knowledge relevant to clinical practice and to the improvement of patient outcomes.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
The educational elements of this program are targeted at surgeons, oncologists of all disciplines, physicists, nurses, therapists and other professionals involved in CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery. Attendees will receive state-of-the-art practice information relating to radiation, and surgical oncology. Embracing the multidisciplinary approach to cancer care is essential to quality care. Research presented from medical and allied professionals will enhance the interdisciplinary nature of the program. The program will include presentations on standard, investigational and experimental therapeutics, treatment planning, alternative fractionation, emerging technologies, and physics. These topics are presented in a combination of panel discussions, proffered papers and posters. Educational sessions provide attendees with an essential review of timely topics. Panel discussions emphasize current controversies. Proffered papers and poster presentations represent new research findings. This combination provides complementary coverage of a broad range of topics relevant to radiation oncology and members of the multidisciplinary cancer care team.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This continuing medical education activity is designed to meet the interest of surgeons, radiation oncologists, physicians working in related specialties, residents, radiation physicists, dosimetrist, radiation therapists, radiation oncology nurses, radiation oncology administrators and all other health professionals involved in the field of oncology.
