Description:
This is to announce that the 2008 version
of
the Radiation and Cancer Biology Practice Examination
will be available in May 15, 2008. 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 2008
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.
