Symposium RADIOTHERAPY OF PROSTATE CANCER: TECHNICAL CHALLENGES 14:15 - 15:30 | AUDITORIUM This GU symposium is aimed at reviewing the most challenging technical innovations in the field of ra- diation therapy for localized prostate cancer. The speakers will cover relevant aspects regarding 3 topics: 1) Dr Alberto Bossi will review the current status of focal therapy with special focus on indications, tech- niques, results and limitations. 2) Dr Peter Hoskin will analyse the emergent role of HDR brachytherapy in dose escalation RT, radiobiological basis and the updated results of randomised trial. 3) Finally, Dr Widmark, will discuss the relevant aspects of extreme hypofractionation: indications and clinical trials.

Chair: A. Zapatero (Spain) Co-chair: S. Arcangeli (Italy)

Debate THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT SBRT SHOULD BECOME THE STANDARD OF CARE FOR T1 AND SMALL T2 NSCLC TUMOURS 14:15 - 15:30 | GIALLA Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has become the standard of care for patients, who are medically inoperable. This is because of high local control rates combined with a favorable toxicity profile, even in high-risk and elderly populations. With overall survival after SBRT mostly influenced by the patients` comorbidities, it is discussed controversially, whether SBRT might be an alternative to surgical resection. The lack of high level of evidence, concerns regarding omission of regional treatment and the lack of histopathology are points against this motion. Consistent evidence in non-randomised studies and in a small pooled analysis of two randomised studies speak for the motion.
