Intra-fractional bladder motion and margins in adaptive radiotherapy for urinary bladder cancer.

CONCLUSION: In this phase II ART trial, 5 mm isotropic margin for intra-fractional motion was sufficient even though considerable intra-fractional motion was observed. In online re-optimised ART, population-based margin can be applied although patient-specific margins are preferable. PMID: 26313410 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
