A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FCS

Since 1984, Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute & Research Institute (FCS) has built a national reputation for excellence.  With over 250 physicians, 220 nurse practitioners and physician assistants and nearly 100 locations in our network.  Utilizing innovative clinical research, cutting-edge technologies, and advanced treatments, we are committed to providing world-class cancer care.  We are recognized by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) with a national Clinical Trials Participation Award, FCS offers patients access to more clinical trials than any private oncology practice in Florida. Our patients have access to ground-breaking therapies, in a community setting, and may participate in national clinical research studies of drugs and treatment protocols. In the past five years, the majority of new cancer drugs approved for use in the U.S. were studied in clinical trials with FCS participation prior to approval.

Through our partnership with Sarah Cannon, we are one of the largest clinical research organizations in the United States. Often, FCS leads the nation in initiating research studies and offering ground-breaking new therapies to patients.

SUMMARY:

Under the direction of the Radiation Therapy Physicist and/or the Radiation Oncologist calculate computerized isodose plans for radiation oncology patients. Register CT, PET/CT and/or MRI images to generate and compute standard dose calculations and determine computerized generation of isodose curves for radiation treatment programs. Calculate treatment machine settings, document calculations, and record treatment data in therapy chart.

PRIMARY TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Prepare treatment aids and beam modifying devices, including head holders, molds, shields, cradles, compensators, and others as needed  
• Assist in imaging localization procedures, using CT or conventional radiographic techniques. 
• Transfer of CT, PET, and MRI datasets to develop anatomical structures. 
• Register PET/CT or MRI images with our simulation CT’s to create extremely accurate, deformable fusion/registration. 
• Assist in outlining of anatomical structures and the planning target volume in three dimensions. 
• Demonstrate proficiency in the practice of medical dosimetry by creating and calculating highly conformal, computerized isodose plans for all types of radiation oncology patients/tumor types and locations utilizing the full range of external beam treatment techniques including IMRT, VMAT, SBRT and SRS. 
• Discuss with the physician the aim of the treatment, including planned tumor doses and maximum acceptable doses to normal tissue.  Generate isodose distributions via computer and performs calculations for the accurate delivery of the prescribed dose.  Presents these to the physician and/or physicist as well as discusses alternatives.   
• Create meaningful PDF plan documentation (including label proper anatomical direction), secondary calculations and maintain them in Treatment Management System (TMS) to support any and all appropriate plannin
