SYMPOSIUM Balancing the risks and benefits of re-irradiation 08:45 - 10:00 | Auditorium

When, and how, to re-irradiate? Still today, defining the risk-benefit balance of re-irradiation is a major challenge in radiation oncology. In case of a radio-recurrent disease, the patient’s selection process is a critical step, particularly in view of the potential interplay with modern systemic therapies. Froman experimental perspective, understanding the biological mechanisms involved in re-treatment tolerance is of utmost importance. The presenters will provide an evidence-based overview on re-irradiation in different clinical scenarios. The suitability of modern external-beam techniques and brachytherapy for re-treatment will be discussed, with a focus on their intrinsic properties (such as dose conformality) and clinical workflow implications. 08:45 > Indications for re-irradiation – changes in the era of effective systemic treatment options? Speaker: M. Hoyer (Denmark) 09:03 > Radiobiology of normal tissue repair – what are the implications for reirradiation? Speaker: R. Coppes (The Netherlands) 09:21 > Protons, stereotactic radiotherapy and adaptive radiotherapy – what is their value for reirradiation? Speaker: A. Richter (Germany) 09:39 > Brachytherapy in the reirradiation situation – what are benefits and limitations compared to modern EBRT? Speaker: C. Gutiérrez Miguélez (Spain) Chair: TBC Co-chair: P. Bonomo (Italy)
