Symposium
HEAD AND NECK: REDUCTION OF MARGINS AND SIDE EFFECTS
08:45 - 10:00 | ROOM 3
This session will focus on the reduction of margins in radiotherapy and their impact on late effects.
First, the contouring of organs at risk in the head and neck will be addressed including how differences
in delineation can impact on dosimetric analysis and should therefore be guideline-based. Second,
an overview of the recent ESTRO guidelines published to assist RTTs in positioning, immobilisation
and patient verification for head and neck cancer patients will be given. The final presentation in this
session will focus on late effects for patients following radiotherapy and discuss the multidimensional
consequences of treatment in every day life.
