Oral Presentation- Vulvar Plan Study Project Descriptio You will be presenting a comparative plan study in MyMedia. Find a vulvar case that was treated in your clinic to present to your peers. Provide a comparison of a 3D conformal and an IMRT/VMAT. treatment planning technique and the rationale behind your final treatment technique choice, You may choose the are/beam arrangements but one pian must be 3D and the other plan IMRT/VMAT. The total dose delivered must be the same for both plans. The entire presentation should be at least 10 minutes and no longer than 25 minutes. You will post the link to your presentation in the Discussion forum in Canvas by the assigned date in your syllabus. Required Information: ‘* Describe the location and extent of the disease (The tumor volume should be described to include the tumor location (or tumor bed), and the lymphatics included) ‘+ Did or will the patient have surgery or chemotherapy? ‘* Describe the patient position and any immobilization device used. Give a rationale for the patient position and any device(s) used ‘+ Whats the prescription for radiation treatment (fractionation, boost (integrated or separate), total dose to the volume or point)? * Organs at risk found in or near the treatment area should be identified and the total dose reported. Use a table (example below) to list typical organs at risk, critical planning objectives, and the achieved outcome. Please provide a reference for your planning objectives. (Organ at Risk (OAR) Desired Planning Objective _| Planning Objective Outcome Planning techniques chosen (3D conformal with different beam arrangements, static IMRT, VMAT, etc.) ‘* Planning Process (contouring, optimizer constraints, isodose coverage, plan normalization etc.) Treatment outcome (OAR dose reporting table, plan evaluations, etc) Rationale behind final treatment choice (discuss similarities/differences between the two techniques as well as advantagesidisadvantages) Grading Expectations: Your evaluation will have a heavy emphasis on the description of the planning process, the technique, and your evaluation of the outcome. Do not provide extensive information about adjuvant treatments; simply state if the patient is undergoing, has had, or will have, surgery or ‘chemotherapy. Essentially, this is your time to demonstrate and explain those planning concepts that might be hard to elaborate in written format. Use screen shots of your planning process to help explain your thought process. Please follow the rubric carefully to make sure all required ‘components are complete. Discussion Forum Peer Review: For the peer review portion of this project, you will review each of your group members’ projects. Watch their presentations and come up with questions or give them a suggestion for a change (le. "Did you try this?" "A neat trick | learned was this, have you tried something similar? etc). Presenters: It is your responsibility to answer the questions asked about your plan study within the designated timeframe. Peer questions and feedback should be compieted by the specified due date in your syllabus. Please do not alter your assignment based on peer review; simply make a mental note of planning suggestions for any future treatment design.
