Debate
ARE WE PRECISELY INACCURATE IN OUR ADAPTION?
11:00 - 12:00 | ROOM 3
This debate will critically discuss recent developments in adaptive radiotherapy (ART). ART is being in-
troduced in many departments nowadays and one of the main question is if there is sufficient evidence
to safely do so?
Risk management as well as the role of the inaccuracies of the whole process, such as delineation and
dose calculation errors will be discussed in depth. A further point covered in the debate is whether a
potential lack of knowledge of tumour spread could cause increased local relapse rates instead of just
reducing toxicity, because parts of our target are missed as a result of the reduced treatment volume.
