CLOSING DEBATE Data mining or data farming? 12:20 - 13:20 | Space 1-2

How do we best provide evidence that can help us to shape future radiotherapy: through access to large amounts of retrospective data (data mining) or by investing in high quality (hypothesis driven) prospective data collection (data farming)? Currently, only a fraction of radiotherapy patients enter clinical protocols - what are the priorities to improve on this? Furthermore, much of the progress in radiotherapy is aimed towards reduction of morbidity. What is the role of data mining versus data farming on addressing questions on morbidity and does patient reported outcome play a role in data mining/farming?
