Summary

• in high-precision radiotherapy enabling hypofractionation,

effective tumor doses often exceed normal tissue tolerances

• a relevant problem are critical serial normal tissues near high-

dose targets, as exceeding tolerance doses here may lead to

life-threatening consequences for the patient

• advanced treatment strategies therefore need the discussion of

compromises

• beyond adapting dose and fractionation, local strategies may

help to ensure high TCP
