The Department of Radiation Oncology of FAHZU is excited to announce a specialized workshop program on "Respiratory Motion Management in Breast Cancer Radiotherapy." This program is meticulously designed to address the unique challenges of delivering precise radiotherapy for breast cancer patients, with a particular focus on motion management techniques. By combining clinical expertise, advanced technologies, and innovative research, the workshop aims to equip participants with the skills and knowledge to improve treatment accuracy and patient safety. Our target audience includes international medical students, residents, and fellows who are keen to deepen their understanding of respiratory motion management and its clinical applications. This program also fosters international collaboration and knowledge exchange, contributing to the global advancement of radiation oncology practices.

The program offers flexible durations ranging from 2 weeks to 3 months, depending on the participant’s schedule and learning objectives.

• Fellows: Qualified applicants must have completed a residency in radiation oncology or a related field at an accredited institution and demonstrate a strong interest in breast cancer radiotherapy.

• Residents: Applicants must be enrolled in a radiation oncology residency program with at least one year of clinical training completed. A recommendation letter from the program director is required.

•Students: Applicants must be final-year medical students with completed core/required clerkship rotations. A letter of good standing from the dean’s office, confirming academic excellence and expected graduation date, is mandatory.

Focus Areas:

1. Breast cancer radiotherapy with an emphasis on respiratory motion management for left-sided breast cancer cases.

2. Advanced radiotherapy techniques, including IMRT, IGRT, and SBRT.

3. Cardiac and pulmonary protection strategies during radiotherapy.

4. AI applications in radiotherapy planning, including tumor delineation and dose prediction.

5. Integration of radiotherapy with multidisciplinary treatment approaches for breast cancer.

Skills:

1. Mastery of respiratory motion management techniques such as DIBH, OSMS, and ABC.

2. Proficiency in the use of advanced radiotherapy systems like CyberKnife M6 and TOMO C.

3. Practical experience in reducing radiation exposure to the heart and lungs.

4. Research skills in analyzing and interpreting radiomics data to predict treatment outcomes.

5. Hands-on training in quality assurance and safety protocols for radiotherapy.
