Upcoming Webinars

Small Fields, Big Decisions: The Evolving Role of Partial Breast Irradiation Webinar
November 10, 2026, 2:00 p.m. Eastern time
This educational webinar presented by Tiarrah Salvi-Jackson, MD, will review the evolving evidence supporting partial breast irradiation (PBI), highlighting key clinical trials, expanded patient selection criteria, modern treatment techniques, and dose-fractionation schedules. Particular emphasis will be placed on practical challenges and ongoing controversies, including PBI in younger patients, invasive lobular carcinoma, and patients undergoing oncoplastic breast surgery. Faculty will also discuss treatment planning considerations, technique, tumor-bed localization, cosmetic outcomes, and strategies to optimize the balance between oncologic safety and treatment-related toxicity.

ASTRO ROCKS: Understanding Reviewers and the Review Process Webinar
November 6, 2026, 11:00 a.m. Eastern time
Understanding the peer review process is critical to the success of early-career researchers. This webinar will provide information "behind the scenes" of the review process for grants to help applicants better understand how to respond to reviews and how to incorporate feedback to strengthen proposals.

ASTRO ROCKS: From Research Exposure to Research Independence: Building the Radiation Oncology Research Talent Pipeline Webinar
November 12, 2026, 12:30 p.m. Eastern time
An expert panel will discuss opportunities in building and funding programs that encourage aspiring radiation medicine researchers. Each speaker will provide a brief overview of their program and address the transition it targets, the elements that sustain trainee engagement in research, and the gaps that remain along the pathway toward research independence.

Navigating New Practice Environments: Contract, Culture and Career Success Webinar
November 13, 2026, 3:00 p.m. Eastern time
The session will be designed for ASTRO members across career stages, with particular relevance for trainees, early career physicians, and professionals considering career transitions or navigating new institutional cultures. Content will be organized around three core themes: job transition and contract negotiation; communication and professional behaviors; and building mentorship, sponsorship and allyship networks.

Contouring

Choose from three formats:
Live Webinars
During the live event, faculty will present a didactic background lecture followed by case/contour review and Q&A. Depending on the webinar, practice cases may be available to registrants via a contouring software platform. Participants can access the presentation recording and practice cases, if applicable, until the activity expiration date.

Webinars onDemand
These activities provide access to a recorded presentation which includes a didactic background lecture and case/contour review. Participants do not have access to the practice cases/contouring software platform for the cases covered in the presentation.

Case Libraries
These activities provide access to both a recorded presentation (didactic background lecture and case/contour review) and practice cases in a contouring software platform. The platform allows registrants to contour practice cases prepared by the faculty and receive a metric score based on the accuracy of their contour(s) compared to the faculty. Registrants can access the presentation recording along with the practice cases until the activity expiration date to continue to practice contours and improve their score.

ASTRO ROCKS

These sessions provide practical knowledge regarding funding mechanisms and support for radiation oncology researchers, at all career stages, to develop successful research-oriented careers. Sessions include knowledge sharing from research funding administrators and/or experienced applicants/award
