Specialization] was at the prior department (Department of Radiotherapy

the same professors.

The duration of this school was 4 years of a residency program in

radiation oncology ( from 2007 to 2011).

I did the following examinations (dates of examinations and its votes are

indicated in the following table).

Theoretical and practical examination 1 Final grade on 15/07/2008

Theoretical and practical examination 2 Final grade on 22/07/2009

anno 23/30

Theoretical and practical examination 3 Final grade on 21/07/2010

anno 30/30

Theoretical and practical examination 3 Final grade on 22/07/2011

anno 30/30

Title of my thesis: Role of MRI in defining the target volume and

organs at risk for radiation treatment of patients with prostate cancer

.

On 09.08.2011, I became Radiation Oncologist at Tor Vergata University

of Rome, with 50/50 votes.

- My actual job is radiation oncology at the same Department

"Department of Radiation oncology of Tor Vergata Policlinic, Rome" .

So I have two years of work experience as a radiation oncologist.

Attachment

Throughout the course of radiation oncology I had excellent experience

in :

- Diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of benign and malignant

tumors.

-Clinical evaluation of each patient and determining the indication for

RT.

- As we have the aim to get the best outcome for our patients, we work as

a team in collaboration with other cancer care professionals, and meet

together weekly and when required for discuss some clinical cases.

- Definition the best radiotherapy program for each patient (intent,

target, volume, dose, raction, technical modalities, etc. ).

- Elect the best technique of RT ( IMRT, IGRT, SRS, 3D-CRT, WBRT) and

the technical modalities required for each clinical case (simulation

procedure, position of patient, accessories for immobilization system and

protection of critical organs).

- Collaboration and professional supervision to the radiation oncology

technicians : . perform

simulation and immobilization system .

.

verification of initial conditions of treatment ( set -up).

. periodic monitoring for provide correct execution of

treatment (ex,electronic portal imaging ).

-Definition the target volume and organs at risk. The GTV are identified

and contoured the radiation oncologist on individual CT(or MRI)slices.

- Discussion with the expert medical physic about Dose-Volume Histogram

DVH and each detail of the treatment plan, to obtain the best outcome

[treat the tumor and save organs at risk ] .

- Take care of the patient during treatment (observe acute side effects

and therapeutic response,

recommend diet or support therapy, change or discontinue the program of

RT).

-Follow up post- RT (programming and management of clinical examination)

- Perform emergency consultations and evaluate palliative RT(ex, bleeding

or severe pain).

*Participation in educational activities of radiotherapy department (ex,

morning conferences,,journal club, meeting with other cancer care

professionals).

*Participation in theory and practice training activities relating to

radiotherapy for interns, medicine student and other medical personals.

*Execute or participate in important national and international

congresses of radiation oncology were made in Italy (ex, AIRO

congresses.)

*Participation in database and various studies for

improve activities of our department.

Our Department at Policlinic Tor vergataHospital :

The radiotherapy can be administered in two way:

-External beam RT [with electrons or photons]

-Brachytherapy [we are going to

use it].

Treatment techniques and their applications :

-3D-CRT ( three-dimensional planned conformal

radiotherapy),[very much] .

- IMRT (intensity modulated

radiotherapy),[head and neck cancer, cerebral cancer, etc.]

- IGRT (image guided radiotherapy), [ex:prostate and cerebral

cancer, head and neck cancer, etc.] - SRS (sterotactic

radiosurgery),[ex brain metastasis, small tumor of the liver or the

lung, etc.]. - WBRT.

The department is provided with following technologies:

(1) -LINAC, Linear

accelerator for low-medium energy

Elekta

Precise Treatment System

It is

equipe with two photon energies (6-10 MV)

.

and five energy levels for electrons(6 - 15 MV).

(2) LINAC- linear accelerator

for medium-high energy.

Elekta

Precise Treatment System Plus.

It is

equipped with three photon energies (6-15 MV)

.

and six energy levels for electrons (6-18 MV).

(3) LINAC - linear

accelerator Synergy.

Elekta Synergy Premium Platform

It is equipped with three photon energies (6- 18 MV)

.

and eight energy levels for electrons (6-22 MV).

We use this modern

instrument from 7 years ago, so we have great experience with its

excellent characters and systems which are: Cone Beam CT images for

image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT); integrated microcollimatore

multileaf (Beam Modulator).

We apply in our depatment :

-RT alone

-RT associated with CHT / molecularly targeted drugs [ex: head and

neck cancer, cervical cancer, rectal cancer, stomach and esophagus

cancer, lung cancer,etc.].

-RT with hormonal therapy [ex:breast and prostate cancers]

For the radiotherapy treatment planning process, we employ :

- CT (

the imaging technologies computed tomography),[ almost always ].

- MRI (magnetic resonance tomography), [especially in brain and prostate

cancers].

- PET-CT( positron

emission tomography-computed tomography), [as in lymphomas, etc. ] .

We treat all tumoral diseases and we have a great experience in:

breast and

prostate cancer, cervical tumors, mangement of gliomas with RT/RT

combined with Temodal, lymphomas and sterotactic radiosurgery (brain mtx, lung or liver small disease). Thus,

we did various studies about these arguments, for example :

- Hypofractionated RT for breast cancer .

- Partial breast radiotherapy.

- Develop prostate cancer treatment

using of permanent fiducial gold prostate markers for tracking actual

prostate position, and applying IGRT [daily in the first week of RT,

then, twice a week ).

-Save the sexual function of the patients with prostate cancer.

So, we always perform CT- MRI fusion to obtain better definition of

prostate and organs at risk (ex, penile bulb).

- We recommend a diet and other suggestions to be

performed by the partient to obtain the best outcome of radiotherapy.
