The concepts of INRT and ISRT

Involved Node Radiotherapy (INRT)

Good pre-chemo imaging with PET-CT in treatment

position

Image fusion with post-chemo planning CT

Contouring target volume of tissue which contained

lymphoma at presentation

Involved Site Radiotherapy (ISRT)

Detailed pre-chemo imaging is not always optimal (not

in treatment position) in standard clinical practice

Compared to INRT slightly larger volumes needed to

ensure irradiation of all initially involved tissue

volumes, but the same principles apply

In most situations, ISRT includes significantly smaller

volumes than IFRT
