relative to low grade glioma and grade III glioma, emphasising the role of biology and molecular biomarkers in selecting appropriate treatments and integrating chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the best. Finally, the last speaker will present the current concepts for “paediatric” brain tumours in adults, showing how there is a clear need for specifically tailored concepts in adults.

SYMPOSIUM MR guided radiotherapy: the new standard of care in 10 years time

08:45 - 10:00 | SCHUBERT

MRI with its superb soft tissue contrast and capacity for functional imaging is increasingly being used for image-guided radiotherapy in a number of indications. In 10 years MRI may therefore be utilised for a wide range of radiotherapy techniques. Pioneering studies have already provided evidence for improved clinical outcome by use of MRI guided adaptive brachytherapy and technical innovations such as the MRI-Linac will make on line MRI guided adaptive external beam radiotherapy a clinical reality. With this symposium we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities that MRI guided external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy provide.

Chair: J.C. Lindegaard (Denmark) Co-chair: B. Segedin (Slovenia)
