Description:
This is to announce that the 2006 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 2006 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 preactice examaniation and
self-
study guide exploring and understanding the effects of radiation
interaction and its mechanism at the cellular level.
