Symposium SELECTION OF PATIENTS FOR PROTON THERAPY 08:45 - 10:00 | ROOM 2

This session will provide three different views on how to select the patients for proton therapy. Proton therapy is not magic and proton therapy risk within the target volume is identical to other radiation therapies, the differences are most often in the intermediate and low dose volumes outside the target. Comparative treatment planning is essential and it should be free from observer bias. Automated treatment planning and robust optimisation techniques should be considered. NTCP modeling is sug- gested as an unbiased method for patient selection. Differences in DVHs (Δdose) require translation into clinical effects (ΔNTCP) to become clinically meaningful..
