Abstract Text

The excellent local control rates achieved by radiotherapy ought not to be jeopardised by ever decreasing target volumes in the era of image-guided adaptive radiotherapy. Having said this, there is evidence of excellent local control rates, e.g., when applying SABR or brachytherapy. Therefore, this presentation will briefly discuss the challenges currently faced and more importantly present publications as well as clinical standards for modified margin recipe concepts leading to reduced target volumes.
