Conundrum of PST: discussion & conclusions

Primary systemic treatment is increasingly used

Radiation therapy is indicated for most patients

The role of surgery is questioned

High-level evidence is missing

Available evidence supports basing indications

for RT on disease extent at diagnosis

Individualisation based on tumour- and

patient-related factors can be done, combined

with the response to PST

For fine-tuning we need results from on-going and future clinical

trials
