RTT 317 Clinical Concepts III
Lead Faculty: Ms. Mellonie Fisher Brown
Course Description
Current principle and practice of treatment for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers are emphasized.
Learning Outcomes
- Given a clinical scenario determine the most effective overall treatment plan for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers.
- Determine the most appropriate beam modifiers, immobilization devices and set-up devices to use for cancers of the geitourinary, lyphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers given cancer stage, histology, and grade.
- Determine the most appropriate beam energy doses for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoereticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers given a cancer stage, histology, and grade.
- Determine the most appropriate treatment techniques and modlaieties for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hemtopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers. Analyze a given cancer state, histology, and grade.
- Analyze port films to determine the area being treated and the techniques used.
- Using the natural history of a particular cancer, determine what structures the treatment field should contain for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers.
- Evaluate a given treatment plan to determine appropriateness based on cancer type, stage and grade for cancers of the genitourinary, lymphoreticular, musculoskeletal, integumentary, hematopoietic, endocrine systems and pediatric cancers.
