SYMPOSIUM
Adaptive radiotherapy (both anatomical and ‘functional’ changes)
08:45 - 10:00 | LEHAR 1-3
The symposium will cover the topic with three lectures. The first lecture (K. Brock)
will focus on techniques for image registration in the presence of anatomical and
functional changes and how accurate are for clinical use; practical issues concerning
procedures for the creation of a feasible dose accumulation and strategies for
reporting dose accumulation results will also be discussed. Then, Sonke will illustrate
the magnitude of anatomical changes, depicting different approaches of adaptive
strategies to counteract them, including actually implemented strategies as well
as current challenges and future perspective. In the last lecture (Toma-Dasu) the
challenges of biologically adapted radiation therapy, based on tumour responsiveness
assessed with functional imaging, will be discussed, focusing on the potential of
functional imaging to assess the tumour response early on during the treatment to
guide ART strategies in poorly responding patients.
Chair: C. Fiorino (Italy)
Co-chair: P. Winkler (Austria)

dose accumulation

SYMPOSIUM
Focus on lung cancer: What a radiotherapy department should offer
their patients
08:45 - 10:00 | STRAUS 1
This symposium was organised in collaboration with the EANM and is dedicated to
the treatment of lung cancer. The session will start with a presentation by A. Santos
(PT) and will discuss the artifacts we encounter in the acquisition of PET/CT for RT
