Description:
This is to announce that the 2007 version
of
the Radiation and Cancer Biology Practice
Examination will be available in June 15,
2007. The purpose of the Radiation and Cancer Biology Practice
Examination is to supplement the training of radiation oncology
residents by providing an educational resource to help guide
residents in
the study of cancer and radiation biology. It is anticipated that the
Radiobiology Practice Examination will also assist residents and
board
eligible radiation oncologists in preparation for the cancer and
radiation
biology section of the cognitive exam administered by the
American
Board of Radiology for certification in radiation oncology.
The exam
consists of 200 multiple choice questions in molecular
mechanisms of
DNA damage and repair; chromosome and chromatid damage;
mechanisms of cell death; cell survival models; LET and RBE;
oxygen
effect; repair at the cellular level; tumor microenvironment; cell
and
tissue kinetics; molecular signaling; cancer biology; total body
irradiation; clinical and mechanistic responses to radiation of
normal
tissues; therapeutic ratio; time, dose and fractionation;
brachytherapy;
alternative radiation modalities; chemotherapeutic agents;
radiosensitizers, bioreductive drugs and radioprotectors;
hyperthermia;
radiation carcinogenesis; heritable effects of radiation; radiation
effects
in the developing embryo; radiation protection. The answer, along
with
an explanation will be provided for each question.
We would like to thank the Associate and Senior Associate
Editors who contributed to the questions which made Rabex 2007
possible and also special thanks to all the past contributors for
their
continuing support which is maintaining the Radiation and Cancer
Biology Practice Examination (RABEX ) alive since its inception in
1995 to
present as a practice examination and self-study guide exploring
and
understanding the effects of radiation interaction and its
mechanism at
the cellular level.
