SELF-ASSESSMENT MODULE
This course, which has been accredited by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) for Self-Assessment Module (SAM) maintenance of certification credit for both physicians and medical physicists, is available from February 15, 2018, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on June 1, 2023.
The activity is approximately 1-hour in length.
Sarcomas are rare tumors affecting approximately 12,000 patients yearly. Treatment usually consists of some combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy and the most common site is the extremity. For large tumors, both high grade and low grade, pre-operative and post-operative radiation has been shown to reduce recurrence. Studies indicate that pre-operative radiation has more wound complications and post-operative radiation has more joint stiffness and late toxicity. There is a need to review the current state of the literature on SBRT for soft-tissue sarcoma, to understand the benefits and risks in the pre-operative vs. post-operative setting, and discuss future studies needed to maximize the therapeutic benefits of SBRT for the treatment of soft-tissue sarcoma.
This program is designed to meet the needs of radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, residents-in-training and healthcare professionals with interest in learning about the rationale for the use of SBRT in the pre-operative and post-operative treatment of soft tissue sarcomas, outcomes with SBRT for soft tissue sarcoma and methods for SBRT.
In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Amedco LLC and the Radiosurgery Society. Amedco LLC is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
Amedco LLC designates this enduring material for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
The Radiosurgery Society Self-Assessment Module (SAM) titled Stereotactic Body Radiosurgery for Soft Tissue Sarcoma is qualified by the American Board of Radiology in meeting the criteria for self-assessment toward the purpose of fulfilling requirements in the ABR Maintenance of Certification Program and has been qualified for 1.0 SAM credits. The ABR qualified this SAM on February 15, 2018.
Physicists: Please note that AMA Category 1 CE offerings count towards ARB-MOC credits. The Radiosurgery Society does not offer CAMPEP credit for our Self-Assessment Modules (SAMs).
