What Has Changed in the World of Planning?

• Adaptive Radiotherapy

• Definition: “Adaptive radiotherapy involves changes to the radiotherapy plan during treatment on the basis of patient specific observations that were not taken into account during initial planning” (Gregoire et al., 2012)

• Incorporates systematic measurements of treatment variations into a closed-loop RT treatment process

• Provides feedback to re-optimise the treatment plan early on during the fractionated course of RT

• Delivers treatment that is customised to the daily patient target volumes
