2015 Annual Meeting Program Committee

Dear Colleague,

Welcome to ACRO 2015, the 25th Annual Meeting of the American College of Radiation Oncology. Over the past 24 years, ACRO has hosted an intimate and uncluttered annual clinical conference encompassing a broad spectrum of educational offerings in a comfortable and effective learning environment, featuring presentations from the best and brightest minds in cancer treatment.

The 2015 conference has been planned to highlight multiple themes that cut through each day of education. These themes will unify disease sites with new techniques and technologies, linking didactic clinical/practice updates with interactive debates to address the controversies we face in clinic everyday.

Additionally, ACRO has returned to our Nation’s Capital which means you will have the opportunity to supplement clinical education with presentations from Washington insiders and Legislative Counsel.

Our hope is that this targeted approach will provide you with the clear understanding of the benefits, quality and value of the 2015 ACRO Annual Conference to all aspects of your practice, from clinical advances to economics and policy.

This will be a superb meeting! Welcome.

Learning Objectives:

At the Conclusion of the Conference attendees should be able to:

1. Implement the latest advances in the science of personalized radiation oncology.

2. Evaluate the treatment of acute and long-term complications of radiation therapy for Central Nervous System, Head and Neck, Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Cervical and Breast Malignancies in order to improve patient outcomes.

3. Explain state of the art treatment management for Head and Neck, Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Central Nervous System, Cervical and Breast Malignancies.

4 Link clinical/practice updates to address clinical controversies in tumor boards and grand rounds.

5. Describe new advances in technology that will influence future treatment.

6. Evaluate personal effectiveness in contouring when compared to an aggregate review of multiple contouring sites.

7. Implement updates in billing and coding for radiation oncology treatment in the face of increased governmental regulation and reimbursement cuts.

8. Interpret the changing political, economic, and regulatory health care environment in order to survive the year ahead.

Accreditation:

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Indiana State Medical Association (ISMA) through the joint providership of Community Health Network and American College of Radiation Oncology. Community Health Network is accredited by ISMA to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Community Health Network designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 22.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

In accordance with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Standards for Commercial Support, educational programs provided by Community Health Network must demonstrate balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor. All faculty, authors, editors and planning committee members participating in a Community Health Network Provided activity are required to disclose any relevant financial interest or other relationship with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services that are discussed in an educational activity.

Community Health Network has implemented a process whereby everyone who is in a position to control the content of an educational activity has disclosed all relevant financial relationships, with any commercial interest.

As part of its mission as the “essential professional society for success in the day-to-day practice of radiation oncology,” the American College of Radiation Oncology developed a program in 1995 to accredit radiation oncology practices. The goal: to equip radiation oncologists with a power-ful tool to proactively protect patients, manage risk, and review practices from top to bottom. Since then, ACRO Accreditation has undergone periodic revisions to refl ect clinical and scientifi c advances within the fi eld. In October 2010, ACRO Accreditation emerged from an extensive administrative review with an updated and intuitive Web-based accreditation system, powered by Equal-Estro. This new system features:

◗ unbiased, blind, online case reviews by a disease site specifi c panel of experts

◗ smart 100% electronic compliant submission of case fi les◗ a detailed and organized process, with automatic

weekly status reports◗ 100% focus on radiation oncology
