Programme

Overview: During the last decades radiotherapy has significantly challenged dogmas on radiotherapy dose, volume and fractionation. New radiotherapy approaches are using risk-adapted dose-volume modulation, and new fractionation schedules are continuously emerging. Furthermore, artificial intelligence helps to improve our workflows and to manage complex processes. EBRT and brachytherapy differ substantially with regard to dose distribution, volume selection, fractionation and workflow. Maybe these differences can inspire us to look for new avenues? Join this symposium and become inspired to transport new knowledge and insights between two radiotherapy modalities that have each demonstrated their value for treatment of cancer across more than 100 years.

Overview: As it is nowadays possible to correct for internal organ motion “on the fly” using real-time imaging as a GPS on the search for cancer, the question can be raised if adaptive strategies like the library of plan approaches are still of use. Library of plan approaches are widely used for example for bladder, cervix, rectal and for stomach cancer. On the other sides, real-time adaptive radiotherapy might also not even be perfect. In the debate there will be discussed whether there is still a role for the plan libraries approach in the era of real-time adaptive radiotherapy.

Overview: Mini-Orals are presented at one of the sessions scheduled in the two mini-oral theatres. Each author will present a 4-slide PowerPoint orally for 4 minutes, followed by 3 minutes for discussion. Sessions will not be recorded.
