Radiation therapy plays a critical role in the treatment of many types of gynecologic cancer. This webinar will explain the rationale behind radiation treatment for gynecologic malignancies, different treatment modalities (including both external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy), as well as how to care for patients undergoing radiation therapy. Nursing care will be covered in-depth, with a special emphasis on patient education and side effect management. This webinar will focus heavily on external beam radiation therapy. We will have a second part to this webinar that will cover brachytherapy in depth.
