A scoping review of advanced practice in online adaptive radiotherapy: educational needs and training for evidence and opportunity building

Radiation therapy plays a critical role in the management of cancer, and radiation therapists (RTs) are at the forefront of delivering precise and effective radiotherapy. Online Adaptive Radiation Therapy (oART) is a novel and emerging treatment option for cancer patients. Historically, adaptive radiotherapy has been implemented via plan of the day (POD) approach, with multiple contours and treatment plans approved by the radiation oncologist (RO) before the patients arrival, and subsequently, available for selection at treatment.
