Initial analysis of the dosimetric benefit and clinical resource cost of CBCT-based online adaptive radiotherapy for patients with cancers of the cervix or rectum

CONCLUSIONS: Dosimetric benefits can be achieved with CBCT-based online ART that is amenable to conventional appointment slots. The clinical significance of these benefits remains to be determined. Managing contours was the primary factor affecting the total duration and is imperative for safe and effective adaptive radiotherapy.PMID:34529332 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.13425
