InformAI is pleased to participate alongside advisor Dr. David Sher in Chartrounds October 28 session on personalizing radiotherapy with optimized treatment plans: https://chartrounds.org/session/personalizing-radiotherapy-with-optimized-treatment-plans-radoncai-dr-david-sher-october-28-2024/
About 85% of cancer patients in the US are currently being treated for their cancer diagnosis in community hospital settings. Rural/community cancer center physicians are challenged by the need to have a level of expertise in all cancer site treatments. In order to serve community cancer patients well, the community oncologist must function as the “general practitioner” of oncology and yet practice cutting-edge oncology for many different cancer diagnoses. In stark contrast, the oncologist practicing at a major cancer center will likely focus their entire career on one disease site and have several colleagues in their department doing the same. Chartrounds serves to link both entities, which is essential to the practice of medicine.
Chartrounds links community practice physicians with each other and disease site experts.
Now with over 6000 members, the Chartrounds project has run over 21,100 one-hour sessions, hosted by some of the leading academic radiation oncologists in the US. Feedback from attendees consistently states the sessions are extremely relevant to their practices, with 80% of participants saying they will make changes in their practice as result of attending the session. Specific changes have consistently been reported as changes in the clinical management of the patient, and changes in treatment planning including dose, fields, and normal tissue toxicity.
