Overview

Over the past decade there has been a significant advancement in the field of thermal therapy, an adjuvant cancer therapy that sensitizes tumor cells to both radiation and chemotherapy. With increased knowledge and training, clinicians will be able to provide a less invasive form of radiation to their patients. The Thermal Oncology Practice School (TOPS) is a CME accredited course that will provide the attendees with theoretical aspects of thermal therapy in a lecture format with a question and answer session. Several cases will be reviewed to explain the different approaches to treat different treatment sites. Small groups will facilitate in-depth training of practical guidelines for thermal therapy treatment delivery, and will practice the treatment delivery in terms of software and hardware in experimental phantoms. Attending practitioners will be made aware of combining thermal therapy with the different forms of radiation treatment and will benefit from a formal training course that will provide one day of lectures and one day of practical training that will cover reviewing clinical cases and using thermal therapy equipment.


Objectives
  1. 1. Recall all the components required to establish a thermal oncology program
  2. 2. Distinguish the different biology of tumors and healthy tissues during elevated temperatures
  3. 3. Decide proper patient eligibility for thermal therapy treatments and the most adequate form of thermal therapy: interstitial, superficial or deep hyperthermia
  4. 4. Describe the physics of radio waves and microwaves as well as the need for water bolus
  5. 5. Explain how to position the different thermal therapy applicators and define the need for multiple treatment sites
  6. 6. Perform treatment delivery of interstitial, superficial and deep thermal therapy
  7. 7. Analyze and report thermal therapy treatment data
  8. 8. Implement the clinical workflow, documentation and reimbursement of thermal therapy treatments
