relative to low grade glioma and grade III glioma, emphasising the role of biology
and molecular biomarkers in selecting appropriate treatments and integrating
chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the best. Finally, the last speaker will present the
current concepts for “paediatric” brain tumours in adults, showing how there is a
clear need for specifically tailored concepts in adults.

SYMPOSIUM
MR guided radiotherapy: the new standard of care in 10 years time
08:45 - 10:00 | SCHUBERT
MRI with its superb soft tissue contrast and capacity for functional imaging is
increasingly being used for image-guided radiotherapy in a number of indications. In
10 years MRI may therefore be utilised for a wide range of radiotherapy techniques.
Pioneering studies have already provided evidence for improved clinical outcome
by use of MRI guided adaptive brachytherapy and technical innovations such as the
MRI-Linac will make on line MRI guided adaptive external beam radiotherapy a
clinical reality. With this symposium we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of
the challenges and opportunities that MRI guided external beam radiotherapy and
brachytherapy provide.
