CLINICAL PRE-MEETING COURSE
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in radiotherapy research and clinical
practice
FRIDAY 5 MAY, 2017
08:15-17:00 | SCHUBERT
Course directors: C. Grau (DK) and T. Holch (UK)
Course aim
To provide an overview of the current and potential future roles of PROMs in radiotherapy
research and routine care settings.
Learning objectives
On completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Assess the role of PROMs in clinical practice and within clinical trials
• Evaluate the use of PROM-based models to predict patient risk of toxicity after
radiotherapy and ion beam therapy
• Examine radiotherapy dose-volume relationships involved in normal tissue complication
probability (NTCP).
Who should attend?
Clinicians, allied health care professionals and researchers interested in:
• Improving their knowledge of the current and future role of PROMs
• Improving patient outcomes in radiotherapy
• Developing models predicting risk of radiotherapy toxicity.
