Best of ASTRO India Annual Meeting 2018 is organized by Association of Radiation Oncologists of India, West Bengal Chapter (AROIWB) and will be held from Jun 29 - 30, 2019 at Taj Bengal Kolkata, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

Target Audience:
This live activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, surgeons, physicists, nurses, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists, radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists and radiation oncology residents.

Description:
The Best of ASTRO India meeting is an officially licensed two-day summary of the most relevant, highly-rated abstracts from the Annual Meeting of ASTRO, that highlight recent technological advances and illustrate the importance of the clinical and non-clinical skills needed to provide patients with the full benefit of radiation oncology.

Statement of need:
There are numerous advances in patient safety in the context of radiation therapy delivery, clinical research on treatment options and advanced techniques in radiotherapy delivery. Failure to stay up-to-date can result in lower quality of care by practicing clinicians. Given the time and breadth of knowledge required to stay up-to-date on advances in cancer therapy, in radiotherapy but also its combination with other treatment modalities, it can be very difficult for a busy practitioner to be knowledgeable about all high-impact new advances and its relevant literature affecting their practice.

Program Objectives
Upon completion of this live activity, attendees should be able to:
• Describe the most current data guiding cancer management decisions.
• Utilize modern radiation technology to improve patient care.
• Implement quality and safety measures in the delivery of radiation therapy.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
