Debate IS BRACHYTHERAPY THE BEST FOR PARTIAL BREAST IRRADIATION? 14:15 - 15:30 | ROOM 4 Four experts in the field of APBI will review the pros and cons of available APBI techniques: Based on the recently published results of the GEC-ESTRO APBI trial, Prof Strnad will emphasise that multicatheter brachytherapy is the only technique which proved to be non-inferior to WBI concerning 5-year local control and side effects. In contrast, Prof Orecchia will focus on the advantages of IORT, which offers the opportunity to com- plete RT at the time of lumpectomy. He believes that the results of the ELIOT and TARGIT trials dem- onstrate that IORT yields a low rate of breast recurrence in selected patients with low toxicity profile. Dr Offersen will report the highly-awaited 5-year results of the IMPORT-LOW and DBCG APBI trials using EBI. She will also emphasise the wide-spread availability of EBI techniques, and the importance of dose homogeneity delivered with IMRT. Finally, Dr Major will provide an objective evaluation on the dosimetric pros and cons of available APBI techniques. He will show that there is no best’ one-size-fits all’ technique for all clinical cases. Chair: C. Polgár (Hungary) Chair: E. Van Limbergen (Belgium)

Symposium NEWCHALLENGES INMODELLING DOSE-VOLUME EFFECTS 14:15 - 15:30 | ROOM 1

This symposium on normal tissue complication will cover current approaches to modelling, challenges in selection of patient and treatment related variables, as well as the impact of uncertainties on compli- cation probability. Phenomenological approaches to modelling will be introduced and current challeng- es in collection of data as well as data mining will be discussed. The integration of image information for
