Description:
This is
to announce that the 2012
version of the
Radiation and Cancer Biology
Practice Examination will be available in May 15, 2012.
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. In this edition
three new categories have been
added,
Molecular Imaging & Radiologic Terrorism & General
section.
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 and
appropriate reference, will
be provided for each question.
