RTT 2200 Radiation Oncology
Building upon knowledge obtained from previous courses, this course examines and evaluates the management of neoplastic disease. Epidemiology, etiology, detection, diagnosis, treatment options, histology, classifications, grading, and patterns of spread will be explored for each neoplastic disease. Presentation of weekly case studies to evaluate and analyze the course of treatment, potential side effects, and prognosis will be compared and contrasted to published tumor site-specific information. At the conclusion of this course, the student will analyze the rationale for treatment decisions; discuss and compare the characteristics of each neoplastic site; describe etiology, signs, and symptoms and diagnostic tests associated with site-specific tumors; analyze staging, grading, and routes of spread of common neoplastic diseases; differentiate the characteristics of benign versus malignant neoplasms; and define screening procedures and prevention programs.
