Description:
This is to announce that the 2009
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
2009
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.
