Presentations
I had the pleasure
and opportunity to prepare and make the following presentations:
1: AREN 0532 Protocol: National Wilm’s Tumor Study Group
During the second semester, as a requirement in the program I chose to evaluate the National Wilm’s Tumor Study Group (AREN 0532) protocol. AREN 0532 is a study implemented by the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) on behalf of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The addresses a research question on treatment for very low and standard risk favorable histology Wilms Tumor. The activity was to summarize the protocol and present it to the rest of the class in the form of a YouSeeU video.
In my presentation, I expounded on the treatment planning requirements of the protocol, bringing out the key details that a treatment planner should include in the planning process in order to meet the trial’s criteria.

2. Trial Comparison- VMAT vs IMRT for a
bladder cancer patient with a hip hypothesis
In this presentation, I compared the volumetric modulated arc therapy against intensity modulated radiotherapy planning techniques in terms of plan quality and delivery efficiency, critical structure sparing, and normal tissue integral dose (NTID).
The results proved to be interesting given the fact that this was a case with a hip prosthesis. Additional planning skills had to be deployed in order to meet the challenges of the case.

3. Whole-brain irradiation in the
management of localized central nervous system germ cell tumors: A comparison
case study between intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric
modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
Historically, irradiation of the whole cranio-spinal axis was the standard treatment of Germinomas. In the recent past a new treatment option (ACNS 1123 protocol) was introduced. In this option, the whole ventricular system is irradiated followed by a boost to the primary tumor site.
In my case study, I compared VMAT verses IMRT in the delivery of treatment per the ACNS 1123 protocol. The differences between the two techniques with regard to treatment delivery time (monitor units), normal tissue integral dose, and critical structure sparing were compared.
