ART optimization based on early response ?
- Analyses of MRI-based T
regression correlated with pCR
- May Mid-RT MRI (average
volume reduction: -56%) predict
the pathological response ?
- A poisson-based radiobiological
model, incorporating the
individual early response, well
predicts pCR and residual cells
(Raso, ESTRO 2016)
- Potentials for selection of pts for
ART and adaptation of boost
dose (work in progress…)
